Comment on Firefox version 126 introduces the collection of search data telemetry.

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?”

  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.

    There’s no trick to it. If you don’t agree to the terms of service, feel free to not use the product.

  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.

    Maybe we can discuss when a company does something completely inmoral that goes against what they say they stand for?

    Sure, by all means, go screaming your discontent to every corner of the internet. Let me know what that accomplishes for you.
    
    You can bitch about shit outside of your control or you can deal with it and move on with your life. Your choice.
