Attached: 1 image 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*

    Ads provide nothing useful to society

    An easy revenue stream for independent, free website hosters? Without this we wouldn’t have free versions of Cookie Clicker, Universal Paperclips, A Dark Room, etc…

      There is limited ad-time slots and that means only groups with the most capital are going to occupy those slots.

        Well, duh. I don’t see what’s wrong with that, and it doesn’t make any difference to people who put ads on their site.
