So am I, it doesn't feet in my degoogled life.
- pmlnr 5y agoSetting can be disabled, and for example the debian build comes without telemetry.
- ntp85 5y agoIs this also true for Debian-based distributions? Anyways, users on Mac and Windows usually download Firefox directly from Mozilla and are therefore affected by the aforementioned telemetry. Seeing the market share of Desktop Linux I'd hazard a guess that those users are in the majority.
- paulcarroty 5y agoGuess nope, 'cause Mozilla doesn't allow patching at all. Edit: tried to download debian package to check their patches, but failed: https://packages.debian.org/sid/firefox https://packages.debian.org/sid/firefox So proofs are welcoming.
- detaro 5y agoDebian's Firefox is patched.
