    Glad they also started to include images which makes easy to really understand the changes, especially the UI related ones.

    I seem to have missed reading about this Privacy Preserving Attribution API before this release. I’m still reading up on this now and might be misunderstanding, but how enticing is this really to advertisers if the user data is supposedly anonymized? Also, is there some type of monetary exchange between organizations? If not, then I’m failing to see why Firefox would need to send this data in the first place.

      @TopHatExtraordinaire @Fitik 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…
