Mozilla Faces Privacy Complaint Over Firefox's PPA Feature by NOYB
Sep 25, 2024, 06:05 AM
On September 25, 2024, Mozilla has been hit with a privacy complaint over its Firefox browser's user tracking practices. The complaint, filed by the privacy-preserving group NOYB with the Austrian data protection authority, accuses Mozilla of tracking users without their consent through a new feature called PPA (Privacy Preserving Analytics). NOYB argues that the default tracking implemented by Mozilla does not adequately inform users, implying that most users are not knowledgeable enough to understand the tracking mechanisms.
