The biggest problems i have with it:
- it's only opt out on desktop
- on mobile there seems to be no way to opt out at all unless you go hacking around to enable about:config
I understand what they're trying to do, i just don't agree with it. I've given up on trusting the ad industry. I'll never try to compromise with them again.
"Advertisers gonna be evil" is not a reason to keep appeasing them in my opinion.

I see this not as compromising with the ad industry, but as giving regulators another stick to beat the ad industry with to get them to stop user surveillance.
