Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to all users

This seems to be a middle-ground.

You can more confidently allow third-party cookies, which means that certain features that broke with the blocking of all third-party cookies will now be able to work, but you maintain most of the protections that you gained when you used to block them.

So.. Standard? or Off? Ever since this has been announced, I understand how it works, but the browser does not communicate at all which setting level it maps to, or if I even need ETP on at all and it's just always on.

Total Cookie Protection is already on by default in private browsing mode, or strict ETP. Also Firefox Focus on Android. It's being rolled out to everyone in the standard ETP mode now.

It's currently controlled by setting `network.cookie.cookieBehavior` to `5`. (There is also a similar setting for private browsing mode which is already 5 by default).

It appears that cookie isolation is always on.

If you want to further mitigate risk, you adjust your settings block all third-party cookies.
