@[email protected] lol I just checked on Apple Safari and it turns out you have to go to Settings, Safari, then scroll all the way down to "Advanced" to find and turn off "Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement" (TIL participating in a market economy without leaking an information advantage to counterparties is considered "Advanced" now) (edit: it's a little different on Apple iOS and Mac OS -- https://blog.zgp.org/turn-off-advertising-measurement-in-apple-safari/ )

Wonder if all those people very publicly dumping Firefox, will also dump their Apple products in such a high profile fashion?

    This feels straight-up malicious since it inverts the meaning of the checkboxes for that one thing.

      I found it amusing to read some people tagging Vivaldi on Mastodon to “double down on their privacy values” and then found this hidden deep in the menu system. Of all the Chromium based browsers, Vivaldi is my favourite, but it’s clear they’re not even trying to improve the surveillance advertising situation, they’re just opening the back door for their friends.
