Maybe they should try to develop the uBlock Origin extension with the dev to make it last more.

This is old news, from 2022!!

From the blog post:

"June 14, 2022"

"Updated Aug. 28, 2024"

"And starting in 2024, all our users can look forward to Firefox blocking even more third party cookies."

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Except it's still out of date because it mentions chrome also blocking third party cookies when at this point in time they've announced that they've abandoned that course of action now.

[–] slowcakes@programming.dev 0 points 5 months ago

Yes we are going to enable this feature that is going to be irrelevant in the future, because where building an API in the browser to fetch browser History...

Yeah maybe 10 years late...

Does making it the default also set it on my already-downloaded Firefox or only to new downloads? Just to know if I'll have to manually set it.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It very probably wont change your settings for you. That would be super annoying if it changed things you set on purpose.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

What if I never changed it in the first place. So before I had it on "default" and now it would still be on "default".

Good to know anyway

I'm curious how this will affect OAuth (if at all). Does it use an offsite cookie to remember the session, or is that only created after it redirects back to the site that initiated the login?

[–] version_unsorted@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I my experience it generally breaks it. Leveraging cookies on the auth domain is fine, but once you are redirected to another domain, that application needs to take the access and refresh tokens and manage reauthentication as a background process. Simply don't store those things as cookies though.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah that's kind of what I was getting at. It's been a while since I've worked with it so I couldn't remember if it used cookies for the token exchange or some other mechanism.

I was also wondering that
