A little. If a third party cookie is set while you're visiting a site, only that site will get the third party cookie back. Multiple sites can have embedded content making third party cookies, and with this change firefox will track where it was made and only give it back there.
With this change, it doesn't matter if it's first or third or whatever; cookies will only be given back to a site that matches much of what is in your location bar.
Starting in what versions?
ah yes, the other TCP
Maybe they should patent it, to protect their TCP IP.
Or have some higher tier version called Ultimate Cookie Protection {UDP)
Id prefer a security security oriented Secure Cookie Total Protection (SCTP)

I wonder how long until all the distros have this.
Such a chad move. Respect!
I'm curious how this will affect OAuth (if at all). Does it use an offsite cookie to remember the session, or is that only created after it redirects back to the site that initiated the login?

making Firefox the most private and secure major browser
If calling home and to selected 3rd party analytics aren't part of the metric then yes, Firefox might be the most private.
Just move to LibreWolf.
