And which browser are using the German now ?
Chrome, which meant Mozilla managed to scare people away from their own browser into a using a browser which respects user privacy even less. Great job there Mozilla!

FTFY. Both browsers have been pretty bad for privacy for a long time and are more than happy to exfiltrate your data to the respective operators without your consent.

Firefox has 3% market share. Completely refusing to engage with your enemies only works when you have the actual guns to back that attitude up. If you refuse to engage with the ad industry they just ignore you. Oh and the company that owns a large part of the world's ad industry and owns the browser that has 65% market share also pays like 90% of your bills. I mean, what's step two of your glorious plan to charge fis…
Maybe they would have a better market share if they weren't constantly pulling this shit every two or three years...
As if… Firefox’s popularity and then decline stems from consumer perceptions of functionality and general availability (i.e. marketing)

> My household dropped Netflix and Prime over their silliness. We currently still have Disney until they get too greedy. And that is just streaming. Regular net is soooo much worse without a way to scrub the ads away. Isn't that a good example of consumers exercising their right to not patronize companies they don't agree with? You didn't need a law stopping you from using Prime, and you don't have a right to use it,…
>Regular net is soooo much worse without a way to scrub the ads away. Hmm, there are ways: I browse with NoScript and unlock Origin installed and see almost no ads. If a website doesn't work and I really need to visit it for some reason, I selectively enable part of the JS they want me to load. Other sites simply don't get my attention.
It works for now and note that there already were some attempts to have solutions like origin stop working[1]. Unsuccessful, for now, but the intent is there and I am starting to get tired of the whack a mole.

These dark patterns will prevail. However, I honestly expect their reasoning to be "every single user reading heise.de should have a cookie banner blocking enabled in their Ad Blocker". Also, I think you can accept it for free when you click "Einstellungen", this is not golem.de.
