From https://firefoxgraphics.github.io/telemetry/ https://firefoxgraphics.github.io/telemetry/:
Linux users are about 2.7% of Firefox users
Windows users are 93.2% of Firefox users
27.7% of Windows users don't have Direct2D
That means 25.8% of users "run windows on hardware without decent graphics hardware". So it's entirely reasonable to prioritize these 25.8% of users over the 2.7% on Linux.
- craftyguy 8y agoHow many Linux users disable telemetry collection vs windows users (who are most certainly used to spewing telemetry to external parties)? I definitely disable it on all of my (Linux) systems where I run Firefox. I suspect I am not alone.
- pcwalton 8y ago> How many Linux users disable telemetry collection Almost certainly a very small number.
- cpeterso 8y agoSome Linux distributions disable telemetry in their Firefox builds. Here is a meta bug about ensuring Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch Linux can send telemetry: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1352981 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1352981
- TheDong 8y agoIf you disable telemetry and then complain firefox is not prioritizing developing firefox for your system, don't be surprised if your complaints fall on deaf ears.
- craftyguy 8y agoPlease point out where I was complaining about firefox not prioritizing development for Linux. Thanks.
- TheDong 8y agoThis comment chain is about Mozilla prioritizing a windows thing over linux / wayland work. You're commenting in defense of the original comment, so while you didn't explicitly complain about it, you implicitly supported the complaint.
- craftyguy 8y agoNo, I was merely pointing that their data is incomplete. I couldn't care any less about mozilla's priorities, since firefox is not my main browser on the desktop.
