Right? When I first started learning web dev (just a bit) I thought cookies were like that, quarantined to each website. Its insane that it hasnt been like that for this long

Well, they were already quarantined to each website, but if that same website got embedded in half of all websites, that still enables a lot of tracking. So now they're also quarantined to each website and the website it's embedded in, if any.
