So this, from Firefox, is fucking toxic: https://mstdn.social/@Lokjo/112772496939724214
You might be aware Chrome— a browser made by an ad company— has been trying to claw back the limitations recently placed on ad networks by the death of third-party cookies, and added new features that gather and report data directly to ad networks. You'd know this because Chrome displayed a popup.
If you're a Firefox user, what you probably don't know is Firefox added this feature and *has already turned it on without asking you*
Firefox creates a report based on what the website asks, but does not give the result to the website. Instead, Firefox encrypts the report and anonymously submits it using the Distributed Aggregation Protocol (DAP) to an “aggregation service”.
Mozilla can’t send user data to an “aggregation service” without explicit consent, no matter how much propaganda they use to explain it.
In which case I suggest you file a GDPR violation against all web browsers, as by default they will be allowing tracking and sending data to advertisers.

But it’s OK to send more - and probably PII - tracking data directly to the website without consent?
Also no. But 2 wrongs don’t make a right.
You are speaking like there are only two alternatives and none of them involves following the law.

One thing is allowing the other is actively collecting and processing the data.
