Remember Google's solemn promise to block third-party cookies in the Chrome browser?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You didn't actually believe them, did you? After all, most of Big G's revenue is derived from selling advertising.

Well, today Google said that they are formally NOT going to follow through on their promise to block third-party cookies in their browser.

I AM SHOCKED, SHOCKED I SAY!

No, not really.

There's a reason why I don't use their browser, and not trusting Google at their word is one of them.

Gates may have believed that at the time, but I doubt Microsoft was actually not collecting data. Perhaps not for marketing, but for some other purpose.
