To be fair, this letter is about information security, not privacy.

Maximizing privacy is a somewhat different goal, and recommendations for how to do so would differ from person to person. Some people really don't care about privacy. And for some other people, adblocker and tracking-blocker software is sufficient for their privacy needs. Whereas for certain people in certain parts of the world, literally the only way they can browse the Web safely is with Tor running on a temporary TailsOS drive.


Advertising is a channel for scams. So an ad blocker is also a security tool.
