If Google is collecting the data, not Mozilla, who's violating?

  After completing our mandatory and very boring GDPR training at work, I can tell you that it's Mozilla :)

    OK. Can you tl;dr for me why that is? Is it because I've asked Mozilla to show me a web page, and the data collection happens as an automatic result of that?

      Yes, you asked Mozilla for the web page, and they decided to load Google Analytics. Mozilla is the Data Controller, and they asked a third-party (Google Analytics) to process the data of Mozilla's users (that includes simple visitors to the site), making Google a Data Processor. The Data Controllers generally have more obligations than Processors, since they control how the data is handled, and to whom it's passed.
