    Private ads that make user tracking impossible absolutely benefits users, and the ad industry would be a lot less of a cancerous cesspit if it were the norm.

    It’s certainly been unpopular, but that’s more because most people on Lemmy don’t read past ragebait headlines and assume the worst.

        Lmao

        Putting aside for a moment how obviously untrue that is, Mozilla doesn’t even get the data. Not at any point to they have your data for this.

        You’re just showing how clueless you are. You don’t even know how the system works.

        It’s tiring talking about this online, because all the people that are pissed off about it clearly haven’t read past the damn headlines. Educate yourself on how the system works, then form your opinion about it.

      It’s just another source of telemetry for advertisers and won’t stop any of the existing methods of tracking.

        It’s a private alternative.

        I never said Mozilla was supreme dictator of the web and could force everyone to follow suit.

        “Bad things still exist so Mozilla shouldn’t develop good things” is not a rational take.

          The problem is that it isn’t an alternative, it is an additional and it does not benefit users in any way.
