    Its impression tracking, not user tracking and its forced anonymous by design. There’s a few gigantic differences.

    And they’re doing it to try and find a better way for advertisers to get some information without having to track everything you do (what happens now)

        As a user, if this replaces active tracking of your browsing, is that better for you?

        Do you need your privacy from web tracking?

        Or do you currently love having Google track everything you do?

            The world where I read the release notes.

            Ask yourself the same question?

            How is tracking better than a counter?

            Currently they’re tracking everything you do. Mozilla thinks they should only get a counter.

            Which of those is better?
