As usual when people criticize Mozilla, this thread is way over the top. I agree it's not good that this is on by default. But saying that Chrome is better because it at least asks is disingenuous. Chrome simply presents you with the "Enhanced Ad Privacy" window and a button "Got it" or "Settings". That's clearly a dark pattern and technically not "asking" at all. The Topics API which you enable by clicking "Got it" is, at least from what I read, clearly worse than what Mozilla has implemented. Calling "differential privacy" a fake is simply untrue. It is not easy to implement, but if done properly, it's absolutely not fake. I agree though that Mozilla has, as usual, dropped the ball here in how they have introduced this technology. They are obviously desperate, and they know if they would ask, probably the vast majority of people would not agree. Also as usual, they will probably roll back this setting once the outcry is large enough, and they have once again lost trust and gained absolutely nothing. It's also clear that with the tiny market share Firefox has nowadays, thinking they could introduce a new ad technology is simply hubris.
