@mcc@mastodon.social lol I just checked on Apple Safari and it turns out you have to go to Settings, Safari, then scroll all the way down to "Advanced" to find and turn off "Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement" (TIL participating in a market economy without leaking an information advantage to counterparties is considered "Advanced" now) (edit: it's a little different on Apple iOS and Mac OS -- https://blog.zgp.org/turn-off-advertising-measurement-in-apple-safari/ )

Wonder if all those people very publicly dumping Firefox, will also dump their Apple products in such a high profile fashion?

    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.
