Killing 3rd party cookies is good, but doing it in a way that drives business to Google Ad Services seems like a textbook case of anticompetitive behavior to me. I wonder what makes them think they can get away with it. Or maybe they don't think they can but they're grasping at straws to keep their money printing machine operational.

Killing 3rd party cookies is good,

There doesn't seem to be any pushback for keeping third party cookies, just the "Privacy Sandbox" is not a better solution by any means.
