@nxadm But PPA is fundamentally about privacy. Having the adtech companies only get impression and click metrics without identifying users, behavior, tracking, etc is absolutely a better privacy situation than the current status quo.

I don't want them getting impressions. I don't want a 3rd party anonimizing stuff . That's privacy.

@nxadm It's not 3rd party anonomizing. It's literally just a counter delivered to them by an aggregator run by Mozilla and ISRG on pages that were specifically requested. That's way better than anonomizers that haven't always been so anonymous. This is an alternative to anonomizers (or worse) that are commonly used now.

I get that. I don't want to give advertisers anything. I want them to disappear. They almost destroyed the web.

@nxadm I completely feel you on that. Luckily, this doesn't impact ad blockers.

We know Chrome is working on that direction. I don't want to see Firefox go on that road, but "a little less badly".

@nxadm Sure - I just don't think *this* is the slippery slope. This was done in the open, is a w3c draft thing, is incrementally in the right direction. That said, it definitely could have been communicated better. Mozilla desperately needs better community engagement.
