    I do know that Mozilla’s Privacy Preserving Attribution is not something you should worry about. I also know if someone calls it the “enshitification of Firefox” or the work of an “anti-privacy, pro-advertising cabal,” they’re either ignorant or simply looking for rage bait clicks from angry Linux users.

    Yup

    I dunno.

    I’m kind of enjoying watching Firefox users have to eat a little crow, since they troll the shit out of me every time I talk about Brave.

      This really doesn’t make Brave look any better though, seeing as it has its own version of “privacy-focused” attention-monetization schemes (Basic Attention Tokens) and its own fair share of controversies. Not to mention being Chromium under the hood and being developed by a company headed by Brandon Eich of all people — a massive homophobe.

      None of which make Firefox impeccable or ever did. But all of which made Brave decidedly worse to me, including after this all happened.
