I recently heard about a feature of WebKit, ITP(Intelligent Tracking Prevention)[0] and I'm curious as to how it works. Specifically, I'm curious whether other browsers that use WebKit on iOS are making use of this functionality by default, since articles about ITP make imply that the default setting is "enabled".

Is this technology transparent to the developer building on top of WebKit, or are there specific APIs that have to be invoked in order to use this technology?

I run Firefox with "strict" selected in the "enhanced tracking protection" section of the Firefox settings. To my knowledge, this section is meant to prevent known tracking domains from setting cross-site tracking cookies(among other things). This catches well known 3rd party tracking cookies mostly every time when visiting various websites(e.g. websites with Stripe payment integration, adtech cookies, etc).

However, whenever I do a Google search and click on the link I want, 3rd party cookies from Google are default-allowed through my Firefox enhanced tracking protection, despite being the de-facto tracking cookie on the internet. I was wondering if anyone knew the reason for this?
