What does this solve that cookies don't?

Still have those cookies active when browsing normally?

What about Cookie issues? Shouldn't i worried about that?

This is just a move to obfuscate understanding of cookies per website. Weird.

My total cookie protection: turn off cookies for casual browsing

lavios May 7, 2021 View on HN

Yeah, it only works if you have cookies enabled(works with js disabled). You could use containers or CookieAutoDelete if you use firefox to auto delete cookies later. Or just configure the browser to be on incognito mode always with only third-party cookies disabled.

This could be a browser extension, such as a toggle button to "never store cookies for this site".

There are browser settings that let you block cookies by default.

No idea in this instance, but it's trivial for rogue browser extensions to siphon off cookies

This won't stop cookie-based tracking though, they can just set "SameSite=None" with their cookies
