    As a general rule: when software asks you to do something, usually it won’t further your own interests, only the devs’. Sometimes it’ll even hinder you.

    And that’s the case here. “Ad privacy” my arse, they’re just trying to wrestle even further control over the advertisement/spam/manipulation market. The rest of what the browser pop-up is saying is mostly bollocks.

    At this rate we (people with at least some privacy concerns) need to do the same that we did against Internet Explorer, and actively advertise Firefox… but that’s problematic on itself, the very fact that the browser landscape reduced itself to Chromium-based vs. Firefox-based sucks major balls.
