Yes, absolutely. As far as I can tell, Privacy Sandbox could help with that.

You know what really helps for privacy? Adblockers.

The big problem with Privacy Sandbox is who is implementing it. I was on the fence about it for similar reasons until I saw who came out against it. Mozilla, the EFF, etc. all heavily condemned it, so I knew it was safe to say its bad (limited time, unlimited desire for knowledge and all I did not have the time to do a deep dive on Google's newest way to get people okay with invasive tracking)
