Mozilla announced in-browser tracking called PPA (Privacy-preserving attribution) for Firefox 128 (and higher).

See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution

The feature is enabled by default!

 

As we are against all tracking, we'd like to encourage Firefox users to disable the feature.

To disable PPA tracking in the browser:

  1. Click the menu button Fx89menuButton and select Settings.
  2. In the Privacy & Security panel, find the Website Advertising Preferences section.
  3. Uncheck the box labeled Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement.
IMG 7842

Next to this mitigation recommendation we will investigate Firefox's PPA tracking more thoroughly. In addtion we hope to find a way of blocking to communication to Mozilla's tracking servers using eBlockerOS.

Stay tuned.

THX!

Thanks @random for the prompt warning! Well done 👏

To all German readers: The feature is called harmlessly "Werbeeinstellungen für Websites" and it can be disabled in the German Firefox version as @random discussed above. See screenshot:
