    Probably the people—accurately—pointing out that Mozilla has also adopted Manifest V3 along with Google. Google is doing it to curtail (“kill”) ad blockers. Mozilla is also now in the advertising game, and secretly began a telemetry program which is opt-out only. And, given how we shouldn’t trust orgs with financial motive, very well could opt you back in with future updates exactly as Microsoft does.

    Plus, their current CEO has a history, and Mozilla as a whole faces dicey times ahead if their Daddy Google is forced to stop buying exclusivity deals by the U.S. government.

    So take your pick I guess.

        It isn’t tracking, ffs. It is anti tracking if anything, designed to help advertisers get what they want without getting ahold of any of your data.

        Stop spreading bullshit!

          I don’t care about advertisers. I will not put up with targeted advertising out of principle. This is a “feature” I’d expect out of Google not Mozilla although these days it isn’t a shock.

          If anything, you are the one spreading BS. However, I think we are all entitled to our own opinions. Calling someone else’s opinion on a topic BS is arrogant at best and hurtful at worst. Ultimately there are no right answers
