I’m grudgingly OK with this, at least if 3rd party cookies are reigned in somewhat with prompts / allow lists.
The main annoyance I noticed when Google started disabling them by default was that Spotify embeds could no longer detect that I was logged in. If someone shared a playlist or a track, I could only preview it via the embed rather than listen in full. There’s probably other services that were/are similarly affected.
Spotify is starting to visibly enshittify, so I don’t know how much longer that use-case will remain relevant, but for now, I’m glad I can expect that functionality to remain.
