    For those who haven’t read the article, the suggested solution is for advertisers to obtain similar user IDs by using their own user list; it has nothing to do with gathering user data from the browser.

    It is utilized in conjunction with other differential privacy technologies that gather user information and classify users.

    In fairness, Mozilla needs a means of making money if anyone hopes Firefox or Librewolf to exist in the long run.

      Mozilla needs a means of making money if anyone hopes Firefox or Librewolf to exist in the long run.

      Mozilla Corp needs a means of making money if they want to continue paying their directors millions of dollars a year. The software projects, not so much.

        In my humble but correct opinion, Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

        1. Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
        2. Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
        3. There is no 3.
