I think people don't hate Mozilla, they want them to do better as there are not many options left if you care about privacy. It'd just be nice to not have to pick the lesser evil for once.

And they are doing better. Making ads private is a very good thing. They're currently a privacy nightmare.

They are not making ads private, they are adding another tracking vector. This will not get rid of the other ones already there.

No they weren't. Clearly you don't know how this system works.

It is impossible to track anybody using this.

You are getting angry at Mozilla for making something that enables privacy, then getting angry at them again because they aren't dictators of the web who can control everybody's and networks.
