I enjoy a mostly ad-free internet experience because I use Firefox and some plug-ins like Ublock Origin. Now I'll be surveilled less as well as Firefox  is blocking tracking cookies, "confining cookies to the site where they were created, thus preventing tracking companies from using these cookies to track your browsing from site to site." This is long overdue, and while Google has pondered how to do it while still tracking users, Firefox has simply done it.
