Then block it with an extension? Mozilla has a specific contract against this. It's not just a "promise", it's a legal document. Why would Google care to violat

  You're telling someone to add a browser extension to block some privacy invasion that a privacy-touting browser vendor is willfully doing? What about the interests of the users who don't even know they have to do that silliness? Also, threat of poo-storm is not always sufficient incentive to respect privacy or even agreements with governments (after you're caught brazenly violating privacy): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/9432518/Google-we-failed-to-delete-all-Streetview-data.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/9432518/Google...

    Correct. At some point if you can't trust any companies, especially when in a contract like this one then you may as well use NoScript because it's unavoidable in this current state :/

  It's not just intentional data misuse that you have to watch out for. There's also accidental data misuse and data theft. Users are safest when they aren't being tracked at all. As privacy advocates, I think Mozilla should take this into account.

  For many reasons. First, because they can, and nobody will ever have a chance to know about it. It's not like people are going to whistleblow: from the comments of many Googlers here I understood they (or a reasonably large number of them) really don't see tracking as ethically wrong. That's of course very good for their mental health, but less so for the privacy of most Internet users.
