Firefox creates a report based on what the website asks, but does not give the result to the website. Instead, Firefox encrypts the report and anonymously submits it using the Distributed Aggregation Protocol (DAP) to an “aggregation service”.

Mozilla can't send user data to an "aggregation service" without explicit consent, no matter how much propaganda they use to explain it.

But it's OK to send more - and probably PII - tracking data directly to the website without consent?

Also no. But 2 wrongs don't make a right.

You are speaking like there are only two alternatives and none of them involves following the law.

In which case I suggest you file a GDPR violation against all web browsers, as by default they will be allowing tracking and sending data to advertisers.

One thing is allowing the other is actively collecting and processing the data.
