https://nu.federati.net/url/281049 [www theverge com] notes that #Mozilla #Firefox currently has no plans to implement #FLoC and that #DuckDuckGo is already working to block FLoC.
#Microsoft #Edge and #Apple #Safari issued somewhat evasive answers, but it is expected that Apple will be 100% no on FLoC.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

Note that most of these are also unimplemented in Firefox / Gecko based browsers, possibly for similar reasons.

#Apple's #Safari browser now deletes site data after 7 days of non-use. Off-hand, it sounds like a good thing, but Aral say it isn't.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments
