Mozilla hit with privacy complaint over Firefox user tracking

NOYB, a privacy advocacy group, has filed a complaint against Mozilla, the maker of the Firefox browser, alleging that the company tracks user behavior on websites without their consent. Mozilla's "privacy preserving attribution" feature, aimed at helping websites understand ad performance without collecting individual data, has been turned on by default. NOYB argues that this interferes with user rights under EU privacy laws. They are calling for Mozilla to inform users about data processing, switch to an opt-in system, and delete unlawfully processed data.

The platform recommends trying YouTube Premium or allowing ads for an ad-free experience. This crackdown has led to a surge in ad-blocker uninstalls.

“But I don’t know any VCs!”

What if you have a startup for which you’d like to raise venture funding, but you don’t know any VCs? This blog addresses the common challenge entrepreneurs face when seeking venture capital without existing connections. It emphasizes that venture capitalists (VCs) primarily rely on referrals from trusted sources, making unsolicited submissions ineffective. To increase the chances of getting noticed, entrepreneurs should focus on building a solid business plan and presentation. The author suggests that entrepreneurs should network strategically to position themselves among the few startups VCs consider each year. Ultimately, having a well-prepared pitch and a strong understanding of their business will help them stand out when opportunities arise.
