But it doesn't! They are proposing, in the stable version, to include only pages that opt in by calling the FLoC API.
For the origin trial in particular, to avoid a chicken-and-egg issue, they are also including pages that have ads. Since ads today make extensive use of third-party cookies for cross-site tracking, This is still not anything like "all sites and pages".
