So This is What It's Come To

Apparently, this is now the way that we’re fighting aggressive ad tracking practices. Now, I know it’s mostly a joke - and also it’s not like a huge amount of Mozilla dev time has gone into this, I’m sure it was knocked out in a couple of hours in one Friday afternoon. But, are the people who are still fighting for a free Internet really advocating such ridiculous practices in order to circumvent tracking? I guess it is good to be able to poke fun at oneself, but in this instance I think the scary thing about the joke is how worryingly believable as reality it is.
