    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.

      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.

        Lmao

        Putting aside for a moment how obviously untrue that is, Mozilla doesn’t even get the data.

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