Wonder if all those people very publicly dumping Firefox, will also dump their Apple products in such a high profile fashion?
And regarding Vivaldi…
This feels straight-up malicious since it inverts the meaning of the checkboxes for that one thing.
I found it amusing to read some people tagging Vivaldi on Mastodon to “double down on their privacy values” and then found this hidden deep in the menu system. Of all the Chromium based browsers, Vivaldi is my favourite, but it’s clear they’re not even trying to improve the surveillance advertising situation, they’re just opening the back door for their friends.
Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement
When Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement is enabled, Safari will provide websites with attribution reports to help websites and advertisers attribute the viewing of and clicking on ads, while still preserving your privacy. Safari will send attribution reports with limited data in a dedicated mode using IP address protection, no data storage, without any cookies, and delayed randomly between 24 and 48 hours. The attribution reports do not contain any personal data.
You can disable Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement at any time by going to Settings > Safari, then tapping to turn off Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement.

I bet the moved to Brave.

Just for the record, Brave have their version of PPA too: https://ads-help.brave.com/
Bold (or brave?!) to assume they’re not hijacking your clicks on ads to click on their own ads and rake in more money, anyways.
