Mozilla are going out of their way to help surveillance advertisers. Why? Because "ads fund the web". Mozilla says they want "privacy preserving ads".
This is horseshit.
Privacy preserving ads exist and always have. Just don't track us. Don't personalise ads.
I didn't mind the original Google ads.Show me an ad for a keyword I'm actively searching for, by all means. Isn't creepy, doesn't harm privacy, and is sometimes useful.
That was what made Google its first billion. So what's the problem?
@dentangle Methinks the problem is: not enough billions
@extrn Sure - that's a problem for Google and Facebook, but why is it a problem Mozilla should help solve?
@dentangle I was making a stupid joke, but Mozilla is very much dependent on google. No doubt their decissions are not completely honest when google interests are at stake.
@extrn I fear you might be correct.
