hexa | yeah, I was planning to if 128 did not solve it | 16:20:14 |
hexa | need to find some time to collect the details and put them into coherent wording | 16:20:38 |

nbp | The gist:
Websites that show you ads can ask Firefox to remember these ads. The website can ask Firefox to generate a report. Firefox creates a report, encrypts the report and anonymously submits it to an “aggregation service”. The website periodically receives a summary of the combined reports. | 10:05:29 |
hexa | ok | 10:06:23 |
hexa | * ok, so mozilla is doing the anonymization | 10:06:34 |
vcunat | Mostly your local browser already, right? | 10:06:51 |
hexa | yeah, but I mostly think about the disconnect between my browsing session and the tracking data | 10:07:26 |
nbp | I am not sure who is supposed to run the aggregation service, but data are supposed to be limited in spectrum to what Firefox is willing sending. | 10:08:31 |
nbp | I guess the aggregation service is to be run by a trusted person too. | 10:09:11 |
nbp | I met a few people a year ago which were already designing this last year, and people who have been on the tech-side of Mozilla / Firefox. So, not having much more information I would think I can trust them. | 10:12:58 |

hexa | That's fair | 10:13:53 |
vcunat | More that what Chrome's doing with ads, for sure. | 10:13:57 |

Mozilla is working with Meta and other actors on defining an in-browser attribution API. The purpose of this API is to provide a privacy-first design for advertising companies to be able to measure how advertising drives conversions. That is, answering the question of whether advertising effectively achieves its goals, such as increased sales.
