It says so in the “Can it snoop on me?” section… for example the app tracks your location…
- agentdrtran 5y agoWhich it has to do if you use the auto-switch modes or location modes function.
- marcinzm 5y agoIf you allow it to so that it can do location based profiles. You can not allow that feature and during the onboarding screens it asks if you want that feature.
- schroeding 5y agoRight, that explains why some users would vote for "creepy". But the information in this section is not really true. The user is not forced (or nudged / dark-patterned / etc) in any way to give those permissions. Location: Yes, it can ask for the Location permission, but it does that only if the user explicitly wants it to do so, doesn't it? You have to activate "Adaptive Sound Control", and also explicitly activate location based ANC control. And then you still have to give it the permission in the operating system dialog. Camera: You can make pictures of your ears to use some kind of strange "sound optimization", which only works with a few apps. Only then does it ask for the Camera permission, and it never uses / asks for it again afterwards. So the information Mozilla provides is not really accurate, and that could skew the votes. I don't know if that's any better. :-D
