It's not if. It's when. It has been 'when' since 2020. It is coming. It is not going to not come. It will be here in mere releases. Get ready.

You're probably right, but FWIW it's not unheard of for google to announce, continually delay, and eventually completely backtrack on things like this, like third party cookie deprecation.

This time it affects their bottom line in a profound way so wishful thinking is probably not going to work unfortunately.

It's because they were literally sued and are not allowed to remove it, not because they don't want to.

Yeah, hence why I started already migrating, slowly.

I have a simple tab organizer extension and some greasemonkey scripts that should work perfectly fine on Firefox without any changes.
