Honestly I am pretty convinced by this post. Good job Mozilla.
> Digital advertising is not going away, but the surveillance parts could actually go away if we get it right.
This rings especially true to me. A lot of people, especially HN readers and myself included, hate advertising so much that we want to block ads altogether. But clearly we are still in the minority and we have to accept its existence. I think Mozilla's position here is clear: digital ads are evil but it's a necessary evil, so the best we can do is to limit how evil it could be.
