Could firefox (or chrome) not implement this and let the user decide what category of ads they'd like to see? Or choose to have it randomly selected per website? Or respond with some value like "random ad please".
- gillesjacobs 6y agoWhy would Firefox implement this? No one but Google has anything to gain from this. Except for that Mozilla receives funding through a Google search deal, but I hope they manage to remain independent and keep tracking out of the browser.
- bassdropvroom 6y agoI can see this being a plus if it's randomised. Every request posts random garbage, similar to resist fingerprinting. From my naive understanding, it sounds like it would be easier to avoid tracking compared to all the cookie trickery that Firefox does.
- Tistron 6y agoMy thought was that it may help further an argument that the web user themself can choose and declare what type of ads they want to see if people insist on showing "relevant" ads. But perhaps have fewer than 33000 categories to chose from.
