problem: Firefox quietly turned on ad tracking (see bug report from
Alan Cox here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2297635

(partial) solution: It is possible to set up policies to turn stuff
like this off. I made a simple RPM to just deploy the policy file (so
I can make sure to set this on all my Fedora systems, update policies
as needed, and so on: https://codeberg.org/dmarti/browser-adfraud-protection

Comments and suggestions welcome.

(IMHO this is the kind of thing that it's important to get out ahead
of, because in-browser ad features make it much harder to spot
real-world privacy threats even if they do have mathematical features
designed to make it harder to identify individuals.)
