    … I don’t know of this is satire or not.

    • There is now a feature labeled “Privacy-preserving ad measurement” near the bottom of your Firefox Privacy settings. I recommend turning it off, or switching to a more privacy-conscious browser such as Google Chrome.

      Definitely satire, the context from earlier:

      1. Firefox is worse than Chrome in their implementation of ad snitching, because Chrome enables it only after user consent.

          [edit: To be clear, I assume the part that OP is not sure if it’s satire or not is “or switching to a more privacy-conscious browser such as Google Chrome.”] The emphasis in

          Firefox is worse than Chrome

          is in the original. To me that clearly implies that they are of the opinion that in general Google & Chrome are worse on privacy than Mozilla & Firefox. The comment at the end is just tongue in cheek snark alluding to the fact that in this particular case google did better for privacy in Chrome than Mozilla in Firefox.

          or switching to a more privacy-conscious browser such as Google Chrome.
