(Re: Are we breaking attributed downloads?) I'd like to learn more about how attribution for downloads works (and I can reach out to you separately and update this thread) but I doubt that it utilizes a high-entropy token to join user identities across sites, as will be disallowed in our anti-tracking policy.
(Re: Future iterations of this protection) There is a lot more work to be done until we can move towards a not-quite-listed-based version, though I think that this is a desirable end goal. We'll have to figure out how to identify tracking identifiers and, at the same time, allow for the various legit uses of URL parameters that look very much like navigational tracking. The Privacy CG is currently discussing this challenge as part of a standardization effort on navigational tracking mitigations in https://github.com/privacycg/nav-tracking-mitigations. We hope to contribute to and benefit from this effort over time.
