> But you don't gain much, there's not a lot of weight to slow down with an ebike so regen gives you very little back.

But by the same token there's not a lot of weight to accelerate either, right? So while a moving bike has much less potential energy to recoup than a car, it needs much less to get back going again also.

So IMHO regen on a bike should be as useful as it is on a car, no?

I forgot to mention that it supports MP3, FLAC, or WAV files.

I agree that the Firefox change is recent, but not Safari. Safari has had 3rd party cookies disabled for many years now.

The irony of Google purporting to protect users' privacy while at the same time:

- Chrome is still shipping with 3rd party cookies turned on by default (Safari and Firefox have them off, by default)

- Chrome usage stats are sent to Google including button clicks. This is admitted in the Chrome privacy policy.

- Chrome on mobile automatically shares your location with your default search engine i.e. Google

- Chrome sort of forces a login …which shares browser and user details history with Google

- Google redirects logins through the youtube.com domain to enable them to set a cookie for YouTube as well as Gmail or whatever, every time you login. Naughty stuff.

So the stated reason for the change doesn't appear to make sense, suggesting that something else is going on.

It amazes me that more people aren't calling Google out on this.

This is true but bear in mind that you can retain a view of the traffic with any of the web analytics plug-ins supported by AMP (all of the major analytics providers are supported).
