The fact that a Mozilla product sends my data, even if it is only my IP address, to a third party, is a disgrace. I don't really care what the data is.
I understand they need analytics and telemetry. They have the money, they have the power to build all of those in house. They should not be sending my data to a third party, whatever that data might be. That's all. I expected better from Mozilla. Pocket integration was a letdown, this is even worse.
- hadrien01 9y agoYou can disable data collection in the settings, or directly install Firefox Klar, a special version of Firefox Focus without telemetry made for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
- marindez 9y agoKlar is only available in those stores, but not worldwide.
- hadrien01 9y agoThen disable telemetry, it's exactly the same thing.
- pritambaral 9y agoKlar is available worldwide on F-Droid.
- marindez 9y agoI don't use Android. I don't understand why did Mozilla add Klar to the stores of those countries only.
- provost 9y agoAs others have said, the option to disable telemetry is in the other stores. Read the article, it says it too: ================== You can turn off the anonymous data collecting of Firefox Focus by tapping on the settings icon, and flipping the switch next to "send anonymous usage data" to off. ==================
- c8g 9y ago> special version of Firefox Focus without telemetry made for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. only 3 country care about privacy?
- hadrien01 9y agoYes, unfortunately. In these countries, the IP address is considered private information. For Android, the app is available in F-Droid.
