All the more reason to use Firefox with uBlock Origin if you can, which despite concerns regarding Mozilla are still much more likely to align with users' best interests and help you avoid being tracked all over the web.

Instead of deprecating third-party cookies, we would introduce a new experience in Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing, and they’d be able to adjust that choice at any time.

What does this even mean, Google?

There's an opt-out check box buried 4 clicks deep in Chrome settings. The choices are "Allow 3rd party Cookies" and "Ask me later".
