Hm, if that is the case, how will advertisers get any utility out of this? How does the categorization fit into advertisers interests?
In particular they aren't happy also about the 3rd party cookie comparison because it just makes no sense, not sure why the PR focuses on that given that this is minimum 3-4 orders of magnitude less precise than 3rd party cookies, targeting a FLoC is going to be like targeting a zip code, hardly THAT privacy invasive.
No, it's going to be like targeting by zip code when you already can target by other means as well (fingerprinting, IP address). So it's going to make fingerprinting easier.
