I get that money can be tight but to avoid such situation (at a personal level) regarding piracy. things to note.

  1. don't talk/post about how that you pirated any media, or face potential legal risks.

  2. movies companies might not like it yet it's not illegal to tell people how to pirate a movie. Don't hint that you did it yourself though.

  3. Reddit doesn't have to provide any info to them, i'm assuming the film companies wanted the scoop from Reddit for free. What if they pay Reddid? who knows..

Yes, Google isn't getting rid of tracking in it's entirety, they're just getting rid of the tracking competition on the Chrome browser. And no one has the guts to make their own commercial browser to stick it to Google and their monopoly, all we really have are open source browsers. Even Edge has to be open source to an extent since they borrow from Chromium.

I wouldn't go so far as to just assume that all younger gen people aren't tech savvy. I guess it would just depend on the person and how casual or into tech they really are.

Apparently fakebot uses targeted advertising? I'm so glad i use Falcon browser as my alternative. None of this.

How is Mozilla using this ai? Or is it know yet? What are they using it for? How will ai benefit the privacy of Firefox users on the private browser?

Will Mozilla's ai be open source?

also, always ask yourself, "who gets a leveraged advantage from this?"

Is this actually true? They all seem hooked on their Smartphones and Nintendo Switches playing Animal Crossing.

There might be some that like the *aesthetic of the landline phones to it but I don't currently believe its many. Atleast not many would use it in their daily lives.

I do agree, that removing it would improve user privacy, however I feel that should be up to the user to decide on their own if they want or don't want third party tracking cookies as it has been.

The alternative that Google proposed I don't think it's any better then what is was before with 3rd party tracking cookies. I'd say it's worse since it introduces new problems while keeping old problems under a new name.

If everything goes through Google, no one has personal control and that's what i'm against. This encourages what open source users should be against.

Why would an open source browser remove a feature just because a corperation did it. Talking like that, might as well use Chrome. Oh wait. But it's *spyware / anti AdBlock.

Why doesn't Firefox make *using AdBlock harder since Google does the same? Firefox isn't competing for Market share, it's suppose to be an Opensource browser and being so should mean that you have the best features for the user, and not a company.

Had you ever asked why would Google get rid of 3rd party cookies, and also ask, what did they replace 3rd party cookies with? another way for them to track you, and only them. They took potential revenue from sites that aren't them just because they can.

exactly. They would rather work individuals to extremes, then pay for more workers.
