Mozilla Faces Privacy Complaint in EU Over Firefox User Tracking by NOYB
Sep 25, 2024, 11:06 AM
Mozilla, the non-profit organization behind the Firefox web browser, has been hit with a privacy complaint by the Vienna-based advocacy group NOYB. The complaint, filed with the Austrian data protection authority, accuses Mozilla of tracking user behavior on websites without obtaining consent. The issue centers around a new post-cookie web tracking feature, referred to as the PPA feature, introduced by Firefox, which NOYB claims tracks users by default. This complaint, filed in the EU, highlights ongoing concerns over privacy and user consent in the digital space.
