Firefox app on android. Never seen this before until today. But Firefox is now putting ads in the app?

    To my knowledge, there is no monitoring involved

    Mozilla discusses the “signals” they rely on for ads here:

    spoiler: there is monitoring involved

    Whether or not this is a privacy problem for any given user is a question for that user to consider, but there’s no question that ads are “relevant to” privacy.

    I’m not quite sure what you’re demonstrating with the ungoogled chromium link. I suggested using a chromium fork, like ungoogled or cromite that have these patches and build switches to improve privacy.
