> Technically they’re correct: the privacy offered by this new system is superior to that which is offered by the web with no tracking protection.

That’s not true, this new system is a tracker, not tracking protection. Simply turning it off improves privacy.

There’s literally no point in implementing this system if you aren’t going to pair it with tracking prevention, as Google plans to do.

They’re planning on turning off one tracking system they use on us and turning on another, that’s not “tracking prevention”. Every other browser just turned off the old and didn’t replace it, and users are better off for it.

I’m aware. The OP said:

> this feature increases your privacy when in reality it does the opposite

My clarification is that their new tracking system does increase your privacy compared to the old. It just doesn’t increase it as much as other browsers. We’re not in disagreement about what is better for users.
