> One of Mozilla’s core privacy principles is No Surprises: we will use and share data in ways that are transparent and benefit our users. That is why we are telling you about this today. We want users to understand why we’ve taken this approach and what it means for them. While still a small experiment, the data collection and new search experience are major changes in the way this build of Firefox performs. We hope that users will appreciate the improved experience, but if users want to turn it off, they can always disable data collection or remove the Cliqz add-on entirely.
Those monsters!
- hajxg 7y agoYes, if you go to the Google privacy policy they surely sound the same. But the truth is that they were funnelling your data to a third party. It doesn't matter if they say it's for the benefit of their users or how transparent they are. They were sending your private data to a third party and it was on by default for some users.
