What spyware is present in Firefox?

  Default behaviour to send back data to mozilla and run studies WHICH THEY ALREADY ABUSED BEFORE https://www.zdnet.com/article/privacy-touting-mozilla-caught-shoving-mr-robot-add-on-into-firefox/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/privacy-touting-mozilla-caught... edit downvote me to oblivion if you must. I too weep for the mozilla of the olden days. The inarguably good guys winnning their fight david vs goliath style against the evil Mircosoft empire. Sadly, those games are gone.

  Safe browsing sends data to google.

    No it doesn't. It downloads a list routinely and checks requests against it locally. Firefox takes it even further and proxies that request so it appears to be coming from them. It would be extremely wasteful and privacy-invasive if they issued a query to Safe Browsing for every request.
