I agree with the mobile browser (the only recent change they made, afaics, was to artificially disable most of the extensions and to make tab switching worse), however it is not just about ad networks that people are paranoid about. Tracking is pervasive and there are many players which know way too much about what users are doing on the net.
I don't even care if they track me - what I care about is that they track mostly everybody. Such power should not be underestimated.

The people who it matters if they track you are still tracking you. All that changed is it's harder to make money from ads and it's more expensive and dangerous to run your own web service.
- mnot 5y agoNot true; a substantial part of the Schrems II decision was about how the GDPR applies not only to law enforcement, but also national security surveillance. See eg ‘European Essential Guarantees.’
