That's going to change in the next days, when the media's gonna publish the news that Firefox now partnered with Burda Media Group to track your browsing history in Germany.
See the HN thread from friday, where Mozilla employees even defend it as a good thing that Firefox by default now sends everything you type into the URL bar to CliqZ.
- giancarlostoro 9y agoNot involved with Mozilla... But.. Was this not the case with Google for years? Also that's always been configurable. It's not a hidden config setting either. Mozilla can do whatever defaults they want they'll just get overriden when I login to my Sync account unlike Chrome though my data is encrypted and mine not theirs.

Yes it is now > they'll just get overriden when I login to my Sync account They explicitly won’t, the new feature overrides all your synced settings and explicitly defaults to sending all your URLs to the ad and tracking company Burda Media Group.
