A website asking me to “disable ad-blocker” has the balls to tell me I should turn off Firefox Tracking Protection. That’s like saying “yeah, we absolutely want to track you across websites, would you do us a favor and let us do it? Please :)”

    To be a fly on the wall when the offending company created the feature to build those instructions …

    Out of curiosity, what is your experience like using only the browser protections and no extensions? The idea is appealing to me from a fingerprinting perspective and if you don’t see ads it might be worth looking into further.

      I get no Google ads at all. The total amount of ads I get by simply using the tracking protection is like 20% percent those I get otherwise.
