  • Privacy based advertizing:

    1. Develop ad

    2. Think about what websites your target demographic will probably frequent. (Be creative, dear marketing person! You can do it! This is the essence of what you’re getting paid for!)

    3. Pay those sites to display your ad

    Done.

    Forget about the technical details and whether the user understands what it is.

    No. Why? It’s simple. They are collecting data I don’t want the ad networks to have instead of the ad networks and give it to the ad networks. That’s only more private than the status quo if I’m okay with them to have this data and trust them to handle it responsibly. Which I have no reason to.

    which is why they correctly say that the user won’t understand the Feature.

    See explanation above. That’s not too complicated to explain to a person that managed to turn on the computer. It only gets complicated when you try to follow the mental gymnastics you need to think this feature adds privacy for anybody.


  • Sadly, tracking is the only way to perform attribution without help from the browser. Tracking is terrible for privacy, because it gives companies detailed information about what you do online. While Firefox includes many privacy protections that make it more difficult for sites to track you online (Enhanced Tracking Protection, Total Cookie Protection, Query Parameter Stripping, and many other measures), there’s a huge incentive for sites to find ways around these in order to perform attribution. Our hope is that if we develop a good attribution solution, it will offer a real alternative to more objectionable practices like tracking.

    “Our hope is, that if we transfer the bank robber some of our money in advance, they’ll not come in and rob all of it.”

    No! Jail the fucker!














  • Und nein natürlich gibt es solche Menschen (Arschlöcher würde es eher treffen) nicht bei jeden Arbeitsort. Nur hast Du jetzt gerade das Pech in einem Unternehmen gelandet zu sein wo ein solcher Mensch sitzt und von der Unternehmensleitung akzeptiert wird

    Natürlich gibt’s die. Wir haben 20% Nazis in Deutschland. Es muss nicht der direkte Kollege sein, aber irgendeiner ist immer dabei. Schon statistisch. Viel eher hast du wohl Glück, wenn es bei dir keine gibt.

    Ich widerspreche solchen Leuten konsequent. Wenn die kein Kontra bekommen, glauben sie nur, es sei ok was sie da faseln. Habe mich dabei allerdings auch noch nie in meiner Sicherheit bedroht fühlen müssen, und bin eine klassische Kartoffel. Ob ich das jedem in jeder Situation raten würde, weiß ich nicht.
