Ad tracking by the user Vs user tracking by ads. It's very different.
Why would I track myself? That’s dumb.
Submitting anonymous data is better than ads tracking incredibly personal data essentially.
uBlock Origin. Why would Firefox submit anything except HTTP requests in order to interact with the web site?
Look no one likes ads but at the same time most people don't want to pay to use websites.
Advertising is just the reality of the internet.
So given the choice between anonymous data I control Vs them sucking up all the personal info they can I know what I'd choose.
