Attached: 1 image So this, from Firefox, is fucking toxic: https://mstdn.social/@Lokjo/112772496939724214 You might be aware Chrome— a browser made by an ad company— has been trying to claw back the limitations recently placed on ad networks by the death of third-party cookies, and added new features that gather and report data directly to ad networks. You'd know this because Chrome displayed a popup. If you're a Firefox user, what you probably don't know is Firefox added this feature and *has already turned it on without asking you*

    Ad tracking by the user Vs user tracking by ads. It’s very different.

        Submitting anonymous data is better than ads tracking incredibly personal data essentially.

          uBlock Origin. Why would Firefox submit anything except HTTP requests in order to interact with the web site?

            Look no one likes ads but at the same time most people don’t want to pay to use websites.

            Advertising is just the reality of the internet.

            So given the choice between anonymous data I control Vs them sucking up all the personal info they can I know what I’d choose.
