    valid criticisms

    Was? I saw someone say that Mozilla were implementing PPA so they could take a cut of all adverts that appear via the browser. It’s outrage for the sake of outrage. A bunch of people that run adblockers, whipping up a storm about something that doesn’t affect them, because God forbid an alternative to Chromium based browsers exist or some other stupid as shit idea. All hail the Internet purists. If it doesn’t benefit them directly, it has to be bad.

      It is pretty much being forced on everyone. It is enabled by default and you need to know that you must disable it. It wasn’t asked for and doesn’t benefit me in the least. However, it is a privacy risk. I also don’t like it out of principle as I don’t like being manipulated (targeted advertising)

        This is funny because every other browser has a form of PPA or is straight exempting a bunch of ads. Mozilla are still committed to maintaining the protections of adblockers.
