@[email protected] Again, and as Bobby has explained at length here: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1e43w7v/a_word_about_private_attribution_in_firefox/ This is making privacy a privilege for the people that work to inform and educate themselves on the topic. People shouldn't need to do that, everyone deserves a more private browser. Privacy features, in Firefox, are not meant to be opt-in. They need to be the default. If you are 'completely anti-ads' (i.e. even if their implementation is private), you probably use an ad blocker. So are unaffected by this.

Just wanted to surface this comment, because not enough people are cognizant of the fact that adblockers do their job and prevent any PPA submissions.

    Logic being that blocker won’t led the ad load?

    So nothing to track?

      Won’t let it load, so there’s nothing to send and even if something loads it will be blocked like when you try and visit a site in your blocklist.

        Ublock is not 100% tho so there would still be some leakage tho?

          According to the technical lead at Mozilla, there’s no leakage.
