A website asking me to “disable ad-blocker” has the balls to tell me I should turn off Firefox Tracking Protection. That’s like saying “yeah, we absolutely want to track you across websites, would you do us a favor and let us do it? Please :)”

    I noticed recently a website explicitly asking permission to track me using fingerprinting, in the GDPR form. I thought even that was mad.

    Vendors can: Create an identifier using data collected automatically from a device for specific characteristics, e.g. IP address, user-agent string. Use such an identifier to attempt to re-identify a device.
