Normal update channels usually ask me (or let me set it so that they have to ask me) if I want to apply the update and I make sure to at least read the changelog if not skim through the source. In addition to that I trust the Debian team much more than I trust the Mozilla team. The studies in contrast are both for anti-user things such as telemetry and the mr robot thing, are inconvenient to disable, are not transparent (it would be difficult for me to find the source of a specific study), happen silently, and skip the Debian team's judgement.
- sjwright 7y agoI love it. You read the changelog and what, you reject the update for some trivial thing you don't like and stay on that previous version forever? Seriously, look at how studies operates. If you're using firefox, go to about:studies and see for yourself.
- AnaniasAnanas 7y agoNo, I reject the update for non-trivial issues which I feel that violate my privacy or could pose some other serious threat and move to some other browser as soon as possible. > look at how studies operates It works on the background and without asking you anything. Is that correct? > If you're using firefox, go to about:studies and see for yourself. It says "You have not participated in any studies." - probably because I have them disabled.
