I think there is a big misunderstanding about this feature. People are throwing their arms up in disappointment but in reality this is a helpful feature for privacy.
This post doesn't even explain what the feature is or how it works. If you take the time to go read what the feature actually does, you'll see it's a good feature to have and it really does improve your privacy when you don't have an ad blocker.
Just because Meta participated doesn't mean it's bad. If they only participated as consultants to understand the advertisement system so they can better protect us against it, it's not bad.
I used to run that years ago and what I remembered was that it was a handful to maintain with updates when I used to run it on windows. It could be completely different now, so don't let my past experience hold you back from trying it out.
tracking and telemetry by Firefox is not even comparable to that of chrome. Google knows you better than you. Firefox's telemetry used to be solely for improving user experience, and not ads and bullshit.
Now that Firefox's gonna show us some ads, I think I have to get away from it as a protest
