Attached: 1 image So this, from Firefox, is fucking toxic: https://mstdn.social/@Lokjo/112772496939724214 You might be aware Chrome— a browser made by an ad company— has been trying to claw back the limitations recently placed on ad networks by the death of third-party cookies, and added new features that gather and report data directly to ad networks. You'd know this because Chrome displayed a popup. If you're a Firefox user, what you probably don't know is Firefox added this feature and *has already turned it on without asking you*

    Would you rather get second hand information or would you rather get the technical specifications from the horse’s mouth?

      You completely ignored the point of the person you’re replying to

      I’d rather have both, and ideally a third by someone who has actually looked at the code to verify claims.
