> Complaining about this is literally complaining that the new version you just installed has a new feature. A hundred times this. The article is misleading click-bait taking advantage of people's historical aversion towards drive-by downloads of malicious add-ons. Mozilla could have just as easily implemented this directly in the browser and this article probably wouldn't have been written, or if it was, it would have at least focused on the legitimate question about telemetry. There is a legitimate debate worth having here, but basing the complaint on the good code hygiene practiced by Mozilla developers is silly. Meanwhile, every web page you visit leaks the fact of your existence a hundred different ways and 99% of us don't care much.
