Google Search is notably absent in your list.

If this proposal becomes standard in Chrome, You can be sure Microsoft and Apple will follow Google's lead with the same or their own similar implementations.

See Microsoft Pluton and Apple's Private Access Tokens. Or read this article which provides an excellent overview of these developments. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32282305

Make no mistake. If this becomes standard on Chrome, this is going to be standard on the web.

Youtube is absent as well. Maybe OP is not as de-Googled as they think.

I didn’t specifically try to De-Googlefy my life for some moral reason. I think most of Google’s products are second rate - including their search page unless you use an Ad blocker. But I do find myself using ChatGPT more and Google less for coding questions since it does a better job of giving me exact answers to my problems and code is easy to verify for correctness.

As far as YouTube, I think I only use it for AWS ReInvent videos. I can’t stand ads and there are no ads interrupting the video.
