I hope that everyone who's currently saying that you have to add a header to avoid Google's FLOC thing realize that the header won't have any effect unless you're serving ads, right?

For the Origin Trial they are running it only includes your domain if you run ads in the first place

This is plainly documented in the Github repo

@ChlorideCull i did not, no. im still leaving in the Fuck: Google header tho

@ChlorideCull i think i remember reading somewhere that the x- isn't needed or recommended any more? but idk

@g @ChlorideCull RFC 6648. Yes, there's an entire RFC just to say you shouldn't do the X- thing. tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6648

@terrana @g I still tend to use the X- prefix for jokey stuff that has zero chance of gaining any wide use, just to avoid collisions (although I'd like to see the RFC that introduces the Fuck header).

RFC 6648 makes sense when it comes to seriously trying to extend or implement a protocol, as the issue is with it never being able to be removed, but I like for my jokes to not actually potentially cause issues in the future.
