I'm shocked; how is this at all consistent with Mozilla's principles? Situations like this one damage trust; what else is going on that I didn't happen to stumble across? From the announcement:
Users who receive a version of Firefox with Cliqz will have their browsing activity sent to Cliqz servers, including the URLs of pages they visit. Cliqz uses several techniques to attempt to remove sensitive information from this browsing data before it is sent from Firefox. Cliqz does not build browsing profiles for individual users and discards the user’s IP address once the data is collected. Cliqz’s code is available for public review and a description of these techniques can be found here.
And it's opt-out; it's not clear if the users receive an opt-out notification:
Users will receive a version of Firefox with Cliqz recommendations enabled out of the box.
