Firefox tracks you with “privacy preserving” feature

noyb filed a complaint against Mozilla for quietly enabling a supposed “privacy feature” (called Privacy Preserving Attribution) in its Firefox browser which tracks user behaviour on websites.

The complaint is good. But since this exists already since version 128.0.0 it would be helpful to tell the people how they can disable it:
1. Click the menu button and select Settings.
2. In the Privacy & Security panel, find the Website Advertising Preferences section.
3. Uncheck the box labeled "Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement".
After disabling it, it stays disabled for further versions.

@fj When will people learn that some of us don’t want “privacy preserving ad tracking.” We don’t want any kind of tracking, because we don’t want ads. To be honest, I am less concerned with privacy than I am with ads. I don’t really care if some random website I visit knows that I am a senior, beard-wearing, male-presenting, mostly-cis, pan/ace, white, nature-loving atheist-animist (okay that’s enough intersectional labels) guy from New England with a penchant for coffee, chocolate, and cannabis. As long as they don’t show me ads. Ever. Got that browser and website designers. We. Don’t. Want. To. See. Advertisements. Find another business model.
