Mozilla wird in der EU mit Datenschutzbeschwerde wegen Firefox-Tracking-Technologie konfrontiert

[“NOYB (None Of Your Business), a digital rights group founded by privacy activist Max Schrems, said Mozilla has enabled a so-called privacy preserving attribution (PPA) feature that turned the browser into a tracking tool for websites without directly telling its users.](https://www.reddit.com/r/technews/comments/1fp4ldj/mozilla_hit_with_privacy_complaint_over_firefox/lov2qro/)

“Mozilla’s limited test of PPA is a part of our effort to improve invasive advertising practices by providing technical alternatives,” a spokesperson told Reuters. “These techniques prevent any party, including Mozilla, from identifying individuals or their browsing activity.”

While this may be less invasive than unlimited tracking, it still interferes with user rights under the EU’s privacy laws, NOYB said, adding that Firefox has turned on the feature by default.”

You can turn it off by going to Settings > Privacy and Security > Uncheck “Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement” If you use Firefox.

I bet this isn’t their first privacy complaint.

Noo! Firefox, you were the chosen one! You were supposed to destroy the anti-privacy browsers, not join them!

By which chromium simp?

It amazes me how many people didn’t know about this already? You really just saw the Chrome stuff and people recommending Firefox and thought they were perfect?

So much magic thinking on Reddit. They’re still way better about it than Google.
