As a general rule: when software asks you to do something, usually it won’t further your own interests, only the devs’. Sometimes it’ll even hinder you.
And that’s the case here. “Ad privacy” my arse, they’re just trying to wrestle even further control over the advertisement/spam/manipulation market. The rest of what the browser pop-up is saying is mostly bollocks.
At this rate we (people with at least some privacy concerns) need to do the same that we did against Internet Explorer, and actively advertise Firefox… but that’s problematic on itself, the very fact that the browser landscape reduced itself to Chromium-based vs. Firefox-based sucks major balls.
I actually see this from a different perspective I think could be cool to consider. Advertising is Google’s number one business, but the current model of banner ads and video ads don’t work.
People are actively running away from ads. And Google keeps trying to do everything they can to improve their core business, when literally ads are like so last century. I don’t even believe Google can continue to succeed with ads even if they took away all of our privacy features. At the end of the day, people learned, and people moved on.
