No. This plugin only sets a
Permisssions-Policyheader to specifically disable FLoC feature. It does not block anything. -

All browsers that do not support FLoC will simply skip the
interest-cohortclause in the header. Older browsers that
do not recognize thePermisssions-Policywill simply the header algother.
