    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
