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.

Any new feature that is added to the user agent should serve or empower said user — not any other parties, including the browser maker and the advertisers. That simple.

And that's why an ad company should not be allowed to also make browsers.

We can all stop using Chrome.

That'd help.

This kind of strategy has never ever worked because the majority of the world's population just accepts whatever is thrown at them without questioning.
