minus-squareeleijeep@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·13 hours agoPersonally I don’t want any ad-tech related code in my browser, unless it’s for blocking ads and tracking scripts. Allowing ads on startpage probably doesn’t really entail that though. It’s probably just a simple rule adding an exception to the blocking rules. It’s not a good precedent though. If I was a Waterfox user, I’d be uneasy about this.
