How do the PR drones who write this stuff not instantly and repeatedly punch themselves in the face? I can probably count on one hand the number of advertisers who respect "performance, security, and privacy." Text and static image ads served from a first-party domain don't bother me, but web-wide creeps following my every move to "retarget" me with invasive annoyances and act as almost-but-not-quite credit reporting agencies are the very opposite of respectful.

Fine, then Mozilla's argument is that we should block everyone except those. And that we also should block trackers not in ads as well (e.g. Analytics). I'm don't see why this is so contemptible a statement, or why we should call a person a "PR drone" for writing it.
- username223 11y agoThe statement is designed to be (deniably) deceitful. Taken literally, it basically says "blow up the whole online commercial surveillance industry, and everyone who relies on it for most of their revenue." That happens to include Mozilla, formerly a subsidiary of Google, now one of Yahoo, so I doubt they mean that.
