In Firefox:
point your url bar to about:telemetry
It shows you all the data that has been gathered.
(Though IIRC it might still show stuff even when you've disabled telemetry -- in that case the data is being aggregated locally but not sent.)
Go to https://telemetry.mozilla.org https://telemetry.mozilla.org
To look at the data on the server side. There are more sophisticated ways of querying it, but obviously not everybody can just be handed access to run arbitrary analysis code.

- hulitu 5y agoYou forgot safe browsing.
- dblohm7 5y agoWhat about it? How you probably think it works in Firefox and how it actually works in Firefox are two different things, by the way: https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/how-safe-browsing-works-in-firefox/ https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/how-safe-browsing-works-...
- hulitu 5y agoAs soon as i start firefox on windows it connnects to 1e100.net and makes a lot of connection to this domain even when no page is displayed (just the start screen). This is another reason why i'm in the process of switching from Firefox to another browser. A program shall not initiate network connections if not asked to.
- aabbcc1241 5y agoJust checked about:telemetry, it seems most data are about CPU and memory stats, nothing related to browsing history.
- dblohm7 5y agoMozilla doesn't collect browsing history, period.
