    It was a hidden, opt-out feature.

    But thanks for your denigrating comment. We now know the value of your thoughts.

    You should perhaps watch this: “Taking Control of Your Personal Data” by prof. Jennifer Golbeck, published by The Teaching Company, ISBN:978-1629978390, likely available at your local library as a DVD or streaming.

    I suspect you don’t realize the extent of the tracking occurring today.

      it’s literally in the privacy & security section of firefox’s settings with its own heading. how is that “hidden”?

      Your comment is highly ironic given that the API in question is an effort to reduce the amount of personal data collected by advertisers.
