    It does not collect any more information about you. It provides far less information than pretty much every ad is already collecting, and that information is anonymized. It does not affect ad blocking solutions.

    So, serious question: what are you not understanding here?

      … as already mentioned above:

      1. This will be just an additional data point about you sold out - no advertiser will dial back on all the other ways to collect data about you.
      2. Mozilla shows that it willingly and silently will sell your data out and they will increase this over time to make money/try to be the man in the middle.
      3. It does not matter at all if it affects ad blocking solutions, this is about tracking and profiling. Learn about browser fingerprinting and other techniques.
      4. This is built in to your browser, which is crossing a very important line.
