If your version of Chromium has the ability to disable 3rd party cookies then it's not affected by this, yet, but eventually they will program an "alternative" way to provide this data to advertisers so definitely start shopping for a new browser I guess.

I'm on Chrome 121.0.6167.185 and I have both the ad controls mentioned in this article and a switch to disable third-party cookies.
