Hey @manton are you doing anything with FloC

In the meantime, if you’re a website owner, you have to opt your website out of the origin trial. You can do this by sending a server header. A meta element won’t do the trick, I’m afraid. — Adactio: Journal—Get the FLoC out

@mandaris Not yet. I probably will, but I've also heard mixed opinions about whether platforms should really opt everyone out of FLoC. (GitHub is, so I could probably do worse than follow their lead.)

@manton Ok, I'm just curious. I’m not running a browser that uses nor do I have near enough traffic to put any effort into pushing for or against it. Like I said, just curious and love getting the opinion of people I trust.

@hjertnes I wish I could remember the article I read that made me question making any change right away... Maybe it was something about FLoC not going anywhere so blocking was premature? I'm definitely against all forms of user tracking.

@manton I doubt it will go anywhere. And the EU will most likely make this kind of stuff more and more difficult

But as far as I can tell the only need for this stuff is tracking.

@manton This one? https://seirdy.one/2021/04/16/permissions-policy-floc-misinfo.html

"If your website does not include JS that calls document.interestCohort(), it will not leverage Google’s FLoC. Explicitly opting out will not change this."

@aaronpk That's the one! Thanks. Re-reading now.
