I'm being blocked from accessing an online publication I subscribe to unless I remove an ad blocker. When I complained, I got this response: "The service we use for logins and subscriptions, Piano, has been flagged as a tracker by a widely used open source tracking list, so to access your account information or benefits on the site, you will need to slightly loosen your browser's tracking restrictions that apply to the domain piano.io - how this is done varies quite a bit based on what browser/extension is being used to apply the restrictions." I'm using Firefox v149 on a 4.5yo MacBook Air. I have several ad blockers installed (probably redundantly: AdBlocker Plus, AdBlocker for Facebook, AdBlocker Ultimate, and Ghostery AdBlocker). I have no idea what I need to do to loosen Firefox's tracking restrictions that apply to piano.io. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

I've gone into Extensions and Adblock isn't there. There isn't anything to remove or cancel. Yet numerous websites seem to see something and say I have a adblocker. I did have Adblock Plus at one time, but canceled it and removed it. What else can I do. My Firefox is up to date. I have Windows 10. My computer is incapable of going to Windows 11.

> Many sites do not respect this indication of a person's privacy preferences and, in some cases, it can reduce privacy.

This really hurts to see from Mozilla.

You could have linked to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track

Why did this policy change? I am aware of GPC: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control

When I dye my hair in 5 colors, I'm aware that can reduce my privacy. I'm not trying to fit in. I'm trying to make a statement. To put a flag in the ground! Like your logo!

If you are going to make this sort of decision again, can you

  • please*

not tell me it's for my own good because of privacy?

Can you just say the policy was changed next time? No elaboration is fine.

Please!

For Valentine's Day I would love it if Mozilla could let me set the DNT bit to 1 again. I would love you so much. I still do.
