Because ads in Firefox went so well...

ads in Firefox

That's a common misconception. For users like myself who use uBlock Origin, Firefox supporting PPA changes nothing at all (as pointed out by the Firefox CTO). The only users who would see an ad that uses PPA are users who would otherwise see ads that use tracking.

That is why the EFF supports it.

That is just dancing around the issue. The problem is them turning on baked in browser advertising by default.

Again, it's not advertising, it's a form of privacy protection. There are no ads in Firefox, and they did not add any mechanism for tracking users, so calling it browser advertising is advertising your own technology illiteracy.

No, weeks later you still have fuck all clue about the thing but keep raging about it. 🤦
