European digital rights group NOYB (None Of Your Business) has filed a privacy complaint with the Austrian data protection watchdog (DSB) against Mozilla, alleging the company uses a Firefox privacy feature (enabled without consent) to track users’ online behavior.
Complaint: https://noyb.eu/en/firefox-tracks-you-privacy-preserving-feature
That’s the fallacy. You assume all Firefox users are privacy minded. Which is idealistic, not a reality. From Firefox being pre-installed on Linux to Mozilla themselves marketing it the opposite way.
There is no universe where opt-out tracking is not abusive behavior. Literally, read the Mozilla blog and see how they used to condemn this same behavior before.
