A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Unfortunately Mozilla doesn't seem to be opposed to the attribution, only the implementation. They have their own proposal called IPA:
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/privacy-preserving-attribution-for-advertising/
https://github.com/patcg-individual-drafts/ipa/
That's an entirety different proposal with a very different outcome. There's absolutely nothing linking the two other than they mention adverts.
Hell, that proposal aims to improve the privacy of advertising impressions over what we have now, that's actually a win in my book
A focus on privacy. Seems based to me.
I'll just be using adblock anyway
