Mozilla Firefox quietly enabled a supposed “privacy feature” that tracks users ➡ Without directly telling its users, the company has secretly enabled a so-called “Privacy Preserving Attribution” (PPA) feature 🖥 Similar to Google’s (failed) Privacy Sandbox, this turned the browser into a tracking tool for websites 🍪 While this might be an improvement compared to even more invasive cookie tracking, the company never asked its users if they wanted to enable it 🎯 In reality, this tracking option doesn’t replace cookies either, but is simply an alternative - and additional - way for websites to target and measure advertising. 📄 noyb files complaint with the Austrian DSB. Mozilla should properly inform the complainant and other users about its data processing activities – and effectively switch to an opt-in system.
