Wasn't blocking of third-party cookies already an option for quite some time now? What's different with this version that it's mentioned as a new feature?

CHIPS is a new way that cookies can work. The difference is that 3rd party cookies are opt-in for the browser, not opt-out, which is better

That makes sense and sounds better. They worded it as "support for blocking third-party cookies" which sounds like reframing the system that was already in place as something new, rather than something actually new.

I would love to know too, it seems like every month for at least a year now I read that "the new Firefox release blocks third party cookies"
