It also intends to introduce a new IP Protection feature in the third quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Already available as an open-source project, the feature aims to limit the availability of a user&#8217;s original IP address in third-party contexts in Incognito mode to prevent cross-site tracking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In light of this update, we understand that the Privacy Sandbox APIs may have a different role to play in supporting the ecosystem,&#8221; Chavez said. &#8220;We&#8217;ll engage with the industry to gather feedback and share an updated roadmap for these technologies, including our future areas of investment, in the coming months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that while Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox have blocked third-party cookies by default since 2020, Google has had a harder time rolling out similar protections owing to its competing interests as a browser vendor, an advertising platform, and a search engine.<\/p>\n<p>![Cybersecurity](data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mP8Xw8AAoMBgDTD2qgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=)<\/p>\n<p>The development also comes at a time when Google is facing intense regulatory scrutiny in the U.S. in recent months, with two different rulings accusing the company of maintaining a monopoly in the search and advertising markets.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Justice, as recently as last month, has proposed breaking up Google by divesting the Chrome web browser and forcing it to syndicate its search results as a way to restore competition to the online search market.<\/p>\n<p>AI company OpenAI said it would be interested in buying the browser if Google is forced to sell it off and &#8220;introduce users into what an AI-first [browser] looks like,&#8221; per Bloomberg and Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Found this article interesting?
