Again you're misrepresenting the state of ad tech.

Anonym has trackers. They're called "private measurement" on their site.

Google and Apple already do what Anonym wants to do. Measurement is privacy preserving, using tools like differential privacy, and the algos are run in Trusted Execution Environments.

It looks to me that Anonym is a copycat solution that has no differentiator over what mainstream browsers are using.

Is there any single reason to prefer them and #Mozilla other than that #Meta doesn't want to be left behind?
