For what it's worth both Google and Mozilla are paying customers of competitive intelligence from said companies.
It's super easy to blame some semi-known Israeli company where in fact it's a way for companies like Google to bypass their own security policy and restrictions.
- Google does not collect all website data
- Google creates an extension model that allows a third-party to collect all analytics data
- Google buys said analytics data and has access to it.
It's done in a somewhat semi-regulated way, but the whole thing is a regulation bypass companies like Google do that will (hopefully) eventually be plugged.
This is similar to the toolbar and installer industry of 5-10 years ago.
