> If this was a feature that was shown to be highly beneficial to your users, then why deploy it to just 1%? Super shady. They've seen this on a small scale, and only among power users. They're now rolling it out to this 1% to test further how users like it and especially also to see how average users like it. Besides that, they're trying to improve the data set to see how well it works with enough data. 1% of users is plenty to get that data set up. So, in case they decide to not roll the feature out, they only have to take it away from that 1% of users. Lastly, they are aware that this opens up potential ways to infringe on user privacy and more-so will spin up conspiracy theorists that have now discovered that Mozilla was evil all along. It's just something that can harm their image, even if it is done in an entirely privacy-respecting way. So, they're testing the waters. If users like it a lot, they might be willing to take that reputation damage. If the feedback is good, but not overwhelming, then they might backpedal, just to get those conspiracy theorists back into the boat.
