Trusting Google to oversee your privacy is like asking a grizzly bear to make sure no one eats this big pile of fresh salmon

Will it kill Google ads cookies too?

Its core purpose is to facilitate online advertising by sharing a subset of user private information without the use of third-party cookies.
