Someone is running a smear campaign on Firefox, and I don’t know why.

The tech doesn’t track you, it’s very clear on that but the misinformation about it keeps popping up everywhere.

Indeed. Looking up how it works, this is how it should be done. I wish other browsers did this too.

This article is straight up misinformation in that it presents this as an erosion of user privacy. It isn’t.

That said, given how fickle people are online, Mozilla should’ve probably seen this coming and not enabled it on pre-existing Firefox installs.

If I were to bet, I’d say the campaign is ran by a company that rhymes with Smoogle

Who could possibly be motivated to do such a thing??? Hmmmm
