Wonder if all those people very publicly dumping Firefox, will also dump their Apple products in such a high profile fashion?
The firefox users who dumped Firefox because of all this fiasco, how many of you are using safari?
I don’t think Mozilla minds losing the collective 6 braincells, either. Especially going by some of the more ragey posts on Mastodon/Twitter, these people seem to be quite adjacent to the tinfoilhat community in general. If anyone were to tell me most of them are flat-earthers, climate-change-deniers and antivaxxers, I would not even bat an eye. They sound the part for sure.
Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement
When Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement is enabled, Safari will provide websites with attribution reports to help websites and advertisers attribute the viewing of and clicking on ads, while still preserving your privacy. Safari will send attribution reports with limited data in a dedicated mode using IP address protection, no data storage, without any cookies, and delayed randomly between 24 and 48 hours. The attribution reports do not contain any personal data.
You can disable Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement at any time by going to Settings > Safari, then tapping to turn off Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement.
And regarding Vivaldi…
This feels straight-up malicious since it inverts the meaning of the checkboxes for that one thing.
I found it amusing to read some people tagging Vivaldi on Mastodon to “double down on their privacy values” and then found this hidden deep in the menu system. Of all the Chromium based browsers, Vivaldi is my favourite, but it’s clear they’re not even trying to improve the surveillance advertising situation, they’re just opening the back door for their friends.

I bet the moved to Brave.

Just for the record, Brave have their version of PPA too: https://ads-help.brave.com/
DuckDuckGo has a browser, maybe they’ll use that. /s
