@helenslunch that’s what Mozilla is doing with their “less intrusive advertising” they’re tracking their users at the same time.
“Mozilla has enabled a so-called privacy preserving attribution (PPA) feature that turned the browser into a tracking tool for websites without directly telling its users.”

Ah, it’s just google’s privacy sandbox. Which imo is worse than straight up tracking everything on their end. It puts people at serious risk
Basically. Insultingly, it was built alongside, and in some collaborative measure with, Google. (A bunch of companies bigger than Mozilla, and a bunch of ad networks, are all teaming up for the PATCG).
Oh, that’s disappointing. I will be looking further into that. Thank you!
