With #QUIC becoming the default in #Firefox soon, everyone's talking about the efficiency improvements, however to me the privacy tradeoffs aren't worth the gains i.e. (Wikipedia):

"QUIC includes a connection identifier which uniquely identifies the connection to the server regardless of source. This allows the connection to be re-established simply by sending a packet, which always contains this ID, as the original connection ID will still be valid even if the user's IP address changes."

@MatejLach Sounds a bit like one of those things where computer users are assumed to be both uninterested and fundamentally incapable of understanding anything about the technology they are using.

In my opinion it's a bad development, we should instead work towards more understanding of technology, empowering people to decide which tech they use and how.

If we assume people are stupid (I don't think that), then things like become meaningless as people can't tell the difference.
