This is not ok. Browser should help to block ads, not to help display it more efficiently.

  This feature does nothing to prevent you from blocking ads entirely, and Mozilla has not signaled that they intend to destroy the ability of extensions like ublock to run arbitrary code to decide what to block in the way that Google and the Chrome team have explicitly said they will do. This feature does nothing more than allow advertisers a very basic form of "fifty percent of people who you showed these ads to interacted with them" in a way that doesn't require things like third party cookies. I'm not convinced that it will go anywhere, as Google and Facebook, the majority of the online advertising market, do not want to give up the powers they have currently for attribution that are also great at powerful tracking, and as you show, the public will continue to play word games about how Firefox is "destroying privacy" while continuing to mostly use AND DEVELOP FOR chrome. Or worse, a version of chrome that they pretend is somehow not entirely controlled by google. If you want to block ads, Firefox is still the obvious browser choice over anything that branches off of Chrome. Firefox will NEVER possibly be pure enough for the people who still for whatever reason just use chrome. It's insanity.
