Paraphrasing what I saw somewhere

> If I go to thing W, X, Y, and Z (where those are distinct elements with distinct fans), people within those cohorts will be indistinguishable but I will likely be the only person who has been to all 4. Therefore, you can easily identify individuals. FLoC is a crock of shit. At least you could block 3rd party cookies

You can block FLoC: switch to Firefox, or at least to any Chromium derivative that isn't Chrome.

I think you can enable/disable FLoC via chrome://settings/privacy or chrome://flags.

See: https://github.com/WICG/floc/issues/103#issuecomment-8218146...

Then again, FLoC is only enabled "in a limited set of circumstances" anyways.

For details on said circumstances, see: https://github.com/WICG/floc#qualifying-users-for-whom-a-coh...
