People should stop mentioning Firefox Google deal when they defend Firefox against their advertising investments.

  • You:

    What is transmitted is not user activity.

    Mozilla:

    When a user interacts with an ad or advertiser, a record of that interaction...

    User interactions are not user activities to you?

  • You said

    All user activity remains local in the browser

    The pertinent information is that you were incorrect. That should be a big enough red flag for you to reevaluate how safe and secure you think PPA is.

    • Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox

  • I think that's the point: Google has been shutting down Manifest V2 extensions one step at a time, and it's been experimenting with anti-ad-block tech on YouTube with one user group at a time.

  • If a company is unethical, they will ignore the Mozilla standard. If a company is ethical, they don't need the Mozilla standard, as they can adopt their own tracking-free methods of serving ads.

    I have been told repeatedly by Firefox advertisement advocates that PPA only affects people that don't use ad blockers, so it allegedly only affects people that are already blasted by tracking networks to the fullest extent possible, while people who use ad blockers wouldn't see the supposedly less invasive ads anyway. So it's either 100% tracking to 110% tracking, or 0% tracking to 0% tracking. Seems like a lose-lose scenario for both sides of the equation.
