Less tracking from websites, more tracking from us!

Firefox (at least on Android), actually violates the GDPR for connecting to Adjust without user consent.

So no need to look further for any privacy shenanigans, this is unbelievably disappointing, coming from Mozilla.

Remember, you can always opt out of sending any technical or usage data to Firefox.

How about you show you respect user privacy by making it an opt-in…?

Feels like no matter where I turn, even the “privacy friendly” options turn away from privacy eventually.

This measure is not linked with specific individuals and is further anonymized using a technology called OHTTP to ensure it can’t be connected with user IP addresses.

Still opt out rather than opt in? A step by step guide for every firefox installation is not user-friendly or privacy-focused. It could be better.

we understand that any data collection may spark some questions

Nah, not “any”… it’s Ok to ask for telemetry, it depends on the time you do so… and it’s the wrong time now

I swear Mozilla has lost its way.

This has been Mozilla’s direction for years.

The no telemetry won me over

You can just opt out of data collection and that new search “feature” will be off too.

I have on mobile but it’s the fact that I have to is what annoys me I switched to Firefox because I didn’t want my data collected and now I have to trust that they won’t

With LibreWolf you also have to trust

How about no?
