This data will be used in the pursuit of #2. As it turns out, a lack of understanding of what users are doing with their browsers is an obstacle to making a better browser. Performance issues in complex systems often only show up in production, and that's what Mozilla is trying to collect this data to fix.
- joosters 9y agoWhy is opt-in data not sufficient? Why can't Mozilla take the top-N sites and test them out for themselves?
- Yoric 9y agoWe're already doing that. Experience shows that this is not sufficient to accurately catch regressions. Also, just because a site is part of the top-N doesn't mean that it's part of the top-N for Firefox users.
- joosters 9y agoCan you give any examples of sites and URLs that you've missed with opt-in data?
- tjoff 9y agoAs it turns out, people use firefox to display web pages.
