I've been reading about Google's proposal to implement FLoC in Chrome which is basically a bad attempt to replace third party cookies with something that is worse at tracking and privacy. The web browser Brave has announced that FLoC has been removed in their nightly builds and the stable build will have it removed this week. I went to the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Am I FLoCed? website that checks your browser to check to see if it has a FLoC ID. It said my Edge browser does not have FLoC enabled. That's good but will it in the future? What is the Edge Team's stance on FLoC? Will Edge join Brave and be free of Google's FLoC in chrome browsers? Greatly appreciate a response from the Edge Team on this. Thank you!
