How will Chrome's third party cookie block affect websites in 2024?

We were troubleshooting an unrelated issue, but noticed recently that when we open Chrome Developer Tools from within Shopify, while using our embedded app, there are 10s of thousands of notifications regarding this issue. It’s happening on our app, random 3rd party app we sampled, as well as the Shopify built Shopify GraphiQL App.

Our app isn’t using cookies, so we started expanding the problem domain and found it happening in these other apps. This issue negatively impacts the performance of Chrome and can negatively impact the development and/or troubleshooting process of embedded apps.
