Should probably add this info about Mozilla funding almost exclusively from Google but at least they haven't disabled mv2 extensions yet. Even though they put in a fucking opt-out ad telemetry setting in recent releases.
I don't think it should've been opt-out, but Mozilla's ad metrics development is very much the direction ads on the web should go in. It is impossible to determine who you are from the data. It's a way to still have ad revenue funding the content we all consume, while also still maintaining privacy. It's a good thing. It's just the opt-out aspect for existing installs that's bad.
That said, I'm personally a proponent of just using adblock lol
Is Chrome's ad telemetry opt-in?
No it's not. But if we're hoping Firefox will be better in some way we'd expect more from them. Wouldn't we?
