The moment they started collecting your bookmark history and hiding it really well is when I knew they were heading towards the dark side. I don’t think they’re they’re there yet, but I might be naive about it.
Comment on Firefox version 126 introduces the collection of search data telemetry.

So much for privacy? I understand they say they only do this in broad terms and without tracking specifically, but i dont think a browser tracking this kind of data from their users is fair, if not i would just be using chrome.
Saying that you can just disable it is the cherry on top, something like this should be opt in, not opt out

All of their telemetry is opt-out. This is nothing new.

What’s the point of making it opt in when only the most paranoid users are going to be concerned enough about this to opt out
“We came out with this new feature to help us improve our product, but we’re deliberately kneecapping it on day one by making it opt-in” lol

“You most likely would have agreed, so why bother asking for your consent?”
jaspersgroove@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Ah right, makes sense. I take it you read the EULA in its entirety before you ever downloaded Mozilla in the first place? Because if you didn’t, you missed the part where you gave them permission to do exactly that.

Lawyers love that trick.

Oh yeah, the classic “most people will not care se we are not even going to ask them, an entry in our blog no one reads will do”.
jaspersgroove@lemm.ee 4 months ago
You gave them permission to do so when you agreed to the EULA at the time you downloaded it, if you have a problem with that, feel free to delete Mozilla and move on with your life.

Image Thats how you sound.
Maybe we can discuss when a company does something completely inmoral that goes against what they say they stand for?

Wow, you really went and edited all your posts on this discussion several hours later to try to not look as stupid as you were? This is some reddit level shit lmao.
