Advocacy group NOYB alleges Mozilla's Firefox browser feature tracks users without consent, violating EU privacy laws.

The advocacy group NOYB has lodged a complaint against Mozilla with Austria's data protection authority, alleging that the Firefox browser's "Privacy Preserving Attribution" feature tracks users without their consent. NOYB contends this violates EU privacy laws, specifically the GDPR, as the feature is enabled by default. Mozilla defends the feature as a less invasive alternative to traditional tracking, but NOYB seeks an opt-in system and the deletion of unlawfully processed data.
