Disable "Privacy-Preserving Attribution" ad measurement scheme tracking

"Firefox 128 adds a new 'feature': "Privacy-Preserving Attribution", per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution, where the Firefox browser cooperates with advertisers to find a way to track ad performance without individually spilling the beans on an individual's browsing history.

The intent behind this feature is to provide an alternative to ad tracking; however, this approach is misguided. First, advertisers will take every tracking method they can get, including this one. The rise of this one would not stop them from tracking elsewhere. Second, this proposal assumes that advertisers have a right to see the performance of their online ads; also not the case."
