This increments a counter anonymously as opposed to explicit tracking.
They are very different and this feels like a hit job of outrage blogs.
26There's nothing anonymous about it. They are the ones collecting the data. They are the ones who are trying to get into the advertising market, using their user base as hostages. They bought an advertising related company run by Meta dropouts. They force ITSG and LetsEncrypt into the spotlight every chance they get, even though their involvement in this subject is nowhere to be seen. They are lying. They don't have your interests at heart, and they haven't for some time.

8"But both sides are not the same!"
argument for everything is aging like milk

6Wow. Mozilla had already been on the downcrawl for a while now but it looks like they just laced up their sneakers and took off running. Disgusting behavior that's completely out of touch with their userbase.
