  • Chrome Is Entrenching Third-Party Cookies That Will Mislead Users

    > Mozilla is an ad-tech company too now.

    I'm sorry, this seems egregious. I agree that it should've been off by default but I challenge anyone to read how the implementation works (not just the blog post and the FUD responses to it) before calling it a giveaway to the ad industry: https://github.com/mozilla/explainers/tree/main/ppa-experime...

    FF is currently a key tool in the fight to avoid a Google-top-to-bottom future, and before we start the meme that it's gone to shit we should be really really sure that's actually true.

  • A Word About Private Attribution in Firefox [from Firefox's CTO]
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Jul 2024
    I clicked on this with a rebuttal already half-written in my head, but (after skimming the CTO's post and then reading the detailed explanation of PPA[0]) I'll admit that I jumped the gun on assuming that PPA was just the latest name for storing an ad id. The idea behind it (that you have to give the advertisers an anonymous way to measure conversions to have a shot at getting them to give up tying your traffic back to your identity) is reasonable, and the implementation doesn't look crazy.

    There's details I don't understand yet and I'd like to see someone smarter than me critique the details, but for now I'll put my money where my mouth is by going in to Settings and re-enabling it.
