I don't know about that, I only use RSS for info about software updates. You can always take few minutes to install it for a sec, load up an RSS feed and see how it behaves. Or maybe there's a plugin somewhere that does that, iunno.
What are the cliff notes?
Haven't even gone past the first page and I'm already seeing the same 2 privacysperg sites I've seen a shitload of times before. What a great start! Linuxtards and privacyspergs literally can't live without citing these 2 gay sites everyday holy cow
.Tragic TBFH. He didn't deserve any of that shit.
Heard of Vivaldi a plenty lot, but never tried it because what's the point it's literally Chromium like 95% of browsers nowadays. Is it any good? The 3 features you mentioned I'm not sure I'd ever use them, the Calendar is esp redundant since no matter if it's windows, mac or linux there's always a prebuilt calendar baked into the system.
SeaMonkey user here, its "Mail & Newsgroups client" is literally just older Thunderbird with a different coat of paint on it (and with necessary security updates).
Where's the lie tho?Haven't even gone past the first page and I'm already seeing the same 2 privacysperg sites I've seen a shitload of times before. What a great start! Linuxtards and privacyspergs literally can't live without citing these 2 gay sites everyday holy cow
Don't forget that time they said that deplatforming people wasn't good enough.
I feel like an idiot now; glad I never donated.
This goal is to track ad performance. The entity running ads only gets to see a histogram of about how many conversions each ad achieved along with about how many conversions where the user had not seen an ad. This histogram comes from the DAP service and does not come "directly" from the user. Batching conversions together paired with differential privacy prevents sites from being able to tell what user made a conversion from what ad. There is no goal for tracking individual user behavior.
Seen ads are stored locally on device and conversions are not sent directly to the target site, but rather to the DAP service. The DAP service uses cryptography to protect the contents of the report that is uploaded. In order to know the contents of the report all of the DAP server hosters have to collude with each other. This is orders of magnitude more private that the existing ways that attribution is done.
If this can evolve into a comptetive solution for attribution it can improve the privacy of users from it being used over more privacy intrusive alternatives. Not every feature has to benefit every user. Like other platforms the web also has the user -> developer -> content flywheel. Implementing features for developers that allow them to create better websites which can give users more value.
Just like many other APIs there is a balance between utility of a feature and the privacy implications. ATT for example was done to protect the device specific advertising uuid. This advertising uuid is bad for privacy since data brokers can tie a bunch of information to this uuid. Now as an app by collecting the advertising uuid a lot of information can be looked about what data is associated with it. Apple also has their own private ad attribution API in Safari called Private Click Measurement which is opt out. This stance by Apple isn't inconsistent, there is much more utility with PCM with a minimal privacy cost.
Imagine the sheer rot and insanity of a mind that tries to claim there is no intention of that at this late stage
The way this feature is constructed, to track individual user behavior Mozilla would have to collude with another company that's involved in running this scheme. Otherwise it's mathematically provable, and the source code is available, so you don't have to take their word for it. It boils down to whether you trust them not to collude.
there isn't (yet) because they would get fleeced by the EU.
So Mozilla would have to collude with an advertising company to track individual users? Maybe that is why they just purchased an advertising company called Anonym (archive).
Ad attribution for the web is not in the late state. Each browser vendor has their own ideas on how this should work and it does not look like we are close to have an agreed upon solution for the web. It would be similarly insane to think that everyone is out to get you. For example when an API like WebGPU was created the goal was to enable more efficient graphics programming on the web. While yes there is a privacy trade off, the goal was not to track people. If somehow there would be a proposal which had 0 privacy loss, with no performance implication people wouldn't consider that as a failure, but in fact a good thing.
Right now the DAP servers are run by Mozilla and ISRG. ISRG is not an advertising company. Even when colluding they only get to learn the index of the ad (the number of the bucket of the histogram to increase). While right now there are 2 entities in the future there could be more, and it requires every one of the entities to conclude. As long as 1 does not collude the individual measurements are private.
Nope, the company that runs the servers with them is called ISRG: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/partnership-ohttp-prio/
