I found that this from the article rather telling:
"A feature for more than a privacy-centric niche. We sometimes think that privacy protection tools are valuable to only a small portion of privacy-centric users (3-8% depending on the study) or general users at specific moments (for example, using the private browsing window). It is noteworthy how many of the participants found value in tracking protection."
I constantly hear from friends (especially Chrome users) that no one cares about tracking on the internet. I think it is uplifting to hear that many of the participants found value in tracking protection.
Yes, it was interesting from our perspective also. For some participants, the use of the tracking protection feature brought attention to tracking. Further, at least two of the participants described how they researched tracking as a result of using the tool.
