Ah, the hate-chorus when the people making the only browser keeping choice alive does... Literally anything.
After Mozilla introduced "Allow web sites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement", I was out for good now. I moved to forks like Floorp, LibreWolf or Waterfox.
But they are forks and they rely on Firefox development. Using them is fine, but with Mozilla funding and keeping up with browser development, they'd be poor
Its a bit like Brave taking Chromium, changing a few lines and saying "we built a browser".
Yeah I read about that and it's in no way a breach of privacy. So you overreacted, probably without even researching what you were reacting to
No I didn't overrated. Users where opt-in in ad tracking by default after that Firefox update. Users were not notified about this. And "privacy-preserving ad measurement" is misleading on purpose, I don't understand why you would fall for that too.
This all happened when Mozilla bought an ad company called Anonym. I'm fully done with Firefox now. I moved to a Firefox fork.
