@TopHatExtraordinaire@programming.dev @Fitik@fedia.io I believe it's just about attribution.

The advertiser gets to know that placing ads on <some domain> worked better than placing them on <some other domain> or even that one ad worked better than another on the same domain.

The assertion is that advertisers don't need to track people, they just need to know if the ads are worth paying for or not....

I guess that makes sense. I’d be curious to know how attractive this will be in the long run for advertisers, considering they or the ad exchanges go to such great lengths to track and fingerprint users. Interesting experiment.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
