As a user, if this replaces active tracking of your browsing, is that better for you?

Do you need your privacy from web tracking?

Or do you currently love having Google track everything you do?

How is tracking better than blocking tracking? What kind of world are you living in?

The world where I read the release notes.

Ask yourself the same question?

How is tracking better than a counter?

Currently they’re tracking everything you do. Mozilla thinks they should only get a counter.

Which of those is better?
