I don’t need to read some German blog to know that a company with a long history of sketchy behavior is sketchy. They’ve gotten on the news with their behavior plenty of times.

All we know is that they’re an advertising business. For all we know they use most of it for themselves

Not everywhere, like Europe

Exactly, why do people even bother?

They sell to brokers, who then sell to whomever. Then also, chrome and firefox have recently gotten the option to track you offline and just pass that info directly to websites.

That is older than me

Let’s hope competition other than just mozilla gets out there

Stupidly enough, one of the arguments used to deny this claim here
“if we don’t sell it, others will so it doesn’t help”
…so there’s no point in reducing these sales

Was just used to justify the opposite when ruling about piracy
“if they we can’t offer pirated content, then everyone will”
…so they also banned a bunch of other stuff and can add to the list later
