Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law requiring browsers to make it easier for Californians to opt out of allowing third-party data sharing. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires websites to allow Californians to opt out of data sharing, but it also mandates that browsers universally support this. Previously, this had to be done using third-party extensions.
