I am too, but I have telemetry disabled since their stunt with the Mr Robot extension they installed remotely for everyone [1]. I also run uBlock on both desktop and mobile. I am one of the 50M users counted as lost?

- ohgodplsno 5y ago>Mr Robot extension they installed remotely for everyone Absolute bullshit. The Looking Glass extensions was installed through their SHIELD experiments program, only for people who had enabled it, and to a very small proportion of those, too. Additionally, it did not capture any data, as creepy as it was. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/retrospective-looking-glass/ https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/retrospective-l...
- Crespyl 5y agoIt is a ridiculous breach of trust to abuse an engineering test platform to push advertising software directly onto a users computer without consent.
- eitland 5y agoI got it and I absolutely never willingly signed up for it and I am (and was at that time too) a very competent user.
- remram 5y agoIt's certainly enough to turn off those optional settings, don't you think? But fair enough, I didn't phrase this right. I'm wondering how they count users, and whether installations with telemetry disabled are counted at all.
