People don't want 3P cookies tracking them around the web. They also don't want to pay to visit sites. Mozilla is trying to provide a middle path, I salute the effort.

Is everyone who claims the Internet cannot work without advertising only 20 years old? Why try to gaslight so many people who remember the Internet without advertising just fine. It was just a few decades ago!

I pay to visit many sites on the internet. Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Max, Twitch, etc. They provide value for my money.

I don’t pay for news. Intelligent employees of news organizations would learn from that but no…

Instead we get advertising apologists trying to gaslight me into thinking tracking is ok.
