This captures my feelings on the issue:

> That framing is based on a false premise that we have to choose between “old tracking” and “new tracking.” It’s not either-or. Instead of re-inventing the tracking wheel, we should imagine a better world without the myriad problems of targeted ads.

I don't want to be tracked. I never have wanted to be tracked. I shouldn't have to aggressively opt-out of tracking; it should be a service one must opt-in to receive. And it's not something we can trust industry to correct properly. This is precisely the role that privacy-protecting legislation should be undertaking.

Stop spying on us, please.

Do you use Web Monetisation ( as in, pay)? If you don't, and don't want to be tracked for ads, how do you propose things work?

Do you mean this?

https://webmonetization.org/

It barely exists so far and is only implemented by a single browser that I'd never heard of (Puma). Hardly fair to demand if people are using it yet.

> how do you propose things work?

We go back to advertising without tracking.

Indeed, their page doesn't make it obvious, but on a computer you can use extensions for Chrome and Firefox. Puma is the only option on mobile though ( never heard of it either).

Puma is a fork of Firefox that does other cool shit: it supports Handshake for DNS, uses DDG by default, and there are some mentions of IPFS that I don't know if it's implemented or not.

I have yet to play with it though, mostly because I do the vast majority of my browsing on a desktop.
