If Firefox delivers a feature the AdTech industry would be OK with, then Chrome can adopt it and kill third-party cookies. Firefox already can block such cookies, but some legitimate sites may break (but developers don't care about Firefox). If Chrome blocks them by default, those sites will have to adjust.

Chrome is already delivering a (different) feature that they propose as a replacement for third-party cookies. That's not a reason for Firefox to adopt that API.
