Huh. I did not detect such an implication. The gist of the article for me was Google is using a new system. Perhaps there is an implication that based on the deceptive use of the term "privacy" some users might believe that Chrome is now more privacy preserving. That would of course be patently false.
But it seems this comparison to third party cookies ignores the fact that now one company, Google, gets a maximum amount of tracking data without having to cooperate with any other entity. That potentially could be a loss for privacy because the concentration of personal data at one entity, i.e., Google, requires less cooperation, e.g., data sharing. It's easier.
