I read this German article:

Firefox 128 liefert per Default Daten für Werbetreibende

Mozilla lässt eine neue Technologie für "datenschutzfreundliche digitale Werbung" in den Firefox einziehen. Die Aktivierung erfolgt ohne Einwilligung der Nutzer.

Which means Firefox 128 Delivers per-default Data for Advert agencies. Mozilla allows a new technology for "Date protection friendly digit Advertising" on Firefox. The activation is without permission from the user.

This is not good at all. I am now thinking of rejecting Fierfoy and moving to Opera or similar. Why did Morzilla take this fatal step?

What? This is not exactly true. The topic in this article has been very shallowed.

PPA does not involve sending information about your browsing activities to anyone. This includes Mozilla and our partners. Advertisers only receive aggregate information that answers basic questions about the effectiveness of their advertising.

No, pleade read this (in English)

Here is a part of the critic: Firefox 128 is here - and is making headlines not with practical new features, but with a data protection controversy. Specifically, users are accusing the developer Mozilla of nothing less than deliberately deceiving its own users. This is because the new version of Firefox introduces a technology for anonymized measurement of advertising and its performance.

What may sound good on paper does not go down well with many users for several reasons: Firstly, Firefox automatically delivers the Privacy-Preserving Attribution (PPA) with the update to the new version, despite the "experimental" label. More serious, however, is the fact that Mozilla also activates the feature directly - users must therefore deactivate the PPA manually by opting out. Prerequisite: They are also aware of the PPA introduced behind the scenes.

This is precisely where blogger Jonah Aragon's criticism comes in: He believes that Mozilla knows full well that Firefox users would not want such a function. If the situation were different, the developers would have presented the PPA to the public beforehand and given the community time to test it beforehand. It is debatable to what extent this was done – at least Mozilla has had a support entry on what the PPA is for a month now. Our users don't understand this

However, Bas Schouten, technical lead for Firefox performance, explains that it would have been difficult to explain a system like PPA. If users are not in a position to make an informed decision, an opt-in does not make sense. Users must therefore be protected from advertising tracking. In any case, new features would constantly be activated without being asked.
