Why 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.
