Brave has had this "new feature" as a default setting (i.e., block cross-site cookies). Glad Firefox has finally implemented a basic privacy feature such as this, though like you mention perhaps it's a little late.

As far as fingerprinting issue, Brave again does a better job than most, again as a default:

"If you need to use Chromium, then Brave browser is a good choice. It also randomizes fingerprint for each session, making it harder to link your browsing sessions."[1]

Makes me wonder how much of this is real improvement vs. publicity.
