#### Removals

### Privacy

- All [third-party cookies](/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/Third-party_cookies) are now blocked in [Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_strict-enhanced-tracking-protection). ([Firefox bug 1918037](https://bugzil.la/1918037)).

### APIs

- The {{domxref('WebGLRenderingContext.drawingBufferColorSpace', 'drawingBufferColorSpace')}} and {{domxref('WebGLRenderingContext.unpackColorSpace','unpackColorSpace')}} properties of the {{domxref('WebGLRenderingContext')}} and {{domxref('WebGL2RenderingContext')}} interfaces are now supported. These specify the color space of the WebGL drawing buffer, and the color space to convert to when importing textures, respectively. ([Firefox bug 1885491](https://bugzil.la/1885491), [Firefox bug 1885446](https://bugzil.la/1885446)).

Browser vendors know that users don't like the behavior described above, and as a result have all started to block third-party cookies by default, while also including exceptions and heuristics in their source code to work around long-standing third-party cookie issues with popular websites.

- Mozilla's [Anti-tracking policy](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Anti_tracking_policy) has led to Firefox blocking third-party cookies from known trackers by default (see [Firefox tracking protection](/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/Firefox_tracking_protection) and [Enhanced tracking protection](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop)). Firefox also gives third-party cookies a separate cookie jar per site, so they can't be used to track users across sites (see [Total Cookie Protection](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-out-total-cookie-protection-by-default-to-all-users-worldwide/)). In [Enhanced tracking protection](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop) Strict mode, Firefox now blocks all third-party cookies. Website developers may continue to use third-party cookies with a separate cookie jar per site (partitioned cookies) via [Cookies Having Independent Partitioned State (CHIPS)](/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/Privacy_sandbox/Partitioned_cookies).
- Mozilla's [Anti-tracking policy](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Anti_tracking_policy) has led to Firefox blocking third-party cookies from known trackers by default (see [Firefox tracking protection](/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/Firefox_tracking_protection) and [Enhanced Tracking Protection](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop)). Enhanced Tracking Protection can be set to Standard, Strict, or Custom. [Standard mode](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_standard-enhanced-tracking-protection) enables [Total Cookie Protection](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-out-total-cookie-protection-by-default-to-all-users-worldwide/), which gives third-party cookies a separate cookie jar per site, thereby preventing cross-site tracking. In [Strict mode](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_strict-enhanced-tracking-protection), Firefox blocks all third-party cookies.
- Apple also has a similar [Tracking prevention policy](https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention-policy/); following this has led to a similar set of third-party cookie protections that are enabled by default; see [Intelligent Tracking Prevention](https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/#intelligent-tracking-prevention-itp) (ITP) for details.
- At the time of writing, Google Chrome only blocks third-party cookies in Incognito mode by default, although users can set it to block third-party cookies all the time if they wish via `chrome://settings`. Google has started to disable third-party cookies for a limited percentage of Chrome users to test the impact that will have, while at the same time developing technologies to enable key use cases without requiring third-party cookies. See [Replacing third-party cookies](#replacing_third-party_cookies) for details.
- Edge blocks trackers from unvisited sites, and blocks known harmful trackers by default. At the time of writing Microsoft are also starting to explore blocking third-party cookies in Edge by default. See [Tracking prevention](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/web-platform/tracking-prevention) for more information.
