Collecting personally identifying information has to be opt-in. They don't collect personally identifying information.

  That is for the Datenschutzbeauftragte and the courts to decide, if your IP and your entire browsing history combined is personally identifying or not. But even if it is not, hopefully the resulting media presence is enough to either kill Mozilla, or to ensure everyone at Mozilla that considers this a good idea is fired.

    They don't either collect the IP. They receive it, simply because a network communication has to take place, but they don't store it. And while they do collect your browsing history in fuzzied form, it's intermixed with other people's browsing history, therefore cannot either be used to identify you. And yes, at the end of the day, it's up to the Datenschutzbeauftragte and the courts to decide, but I really do think that you delude yourself, if you believe this will go anywhere. They'd have locked up the entirety of Google and Microsoft multiple times already.

      > They'd have locked up the entirety of Google and Microsoft multiple times already. They have sued Google and Microsoft into the ground multiple times already. There’s a reason half of Google Photos and Facebook’s features aren’t available in Germany (including no face recognition). Thilo Weichert, previous Landesdatenschutzbeauftragter of SH was constantly in the media due to constantly suing (and winning) against Google, Facebook and co.

  Very unlikely - I am sure you can be identified too. Either way it is ethically questionable. Another example of how evil mozilla has become.
