I don't have any stats, but I think many of the people choosing Firefox are doing so because Google is getting scary and Microsoft's offering is always warned against for security reasons, and that sums up the main browsers. In this choice between three things, you're barely getting one bit of user preference information.
> they know more than 50% of their userbase would think not being tracked online is a pretty fucking good idea.
Which in the mind of advertisers means the other less than 50% don't mind being tracked and so they should be allowed to track. But maybe they'd just go with any excuse.
I'm personally hoping that the EU at least slightly fixes things for Europeans when it starts enforcing the GDPR with big fines. Once every site has the required 'No, you may not track me' simple button, the nags will be less irritating because they'll actually be working.
