      @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.”

        Not really. The browser is tracking the user. All user activity remains local in the browser.

              You said

              All user activity remains local in the browser

              The pertinent information is that you were incorrect. That should be a big enough red flag for you to reevaluate how safe and secure you think PPA is.

                  You:

                  What is transmitted is not user activity.

                  Mozilla:

                  When a user interacts with an ad or advertiser, a record of that interaction

                  User interactions are not user activities to you?
