- tombrossman 7y agoThis is an interesting (closed) bug filed against their SSL config generator. https://github.com/mozilla/ssl-config-generator/issues/8 https://github.com/mozilla/ssl-config-generator/issues/8 It demonstrates that support for Google Analytics is not unanimous within Mozilla, and even if someone removes it from a product page that action is detected by others and reversed. Privacy aware users should block this sort of thing at their router using a hosts file, or Pi-hole, which is far more effective than calling companies out on Twitter and hoping for the best.
- pythonaut_16 7y agoI think it's important to do both. Privacy aware users should take all resonable steps to protect their on privacy, but it is also appropriate to call out Mozilla. Mozilla (and advocates) promote Firefox as the privacy conscious browser while Mozilla repeatedly takes actions that would appear to go against that claim.
