> Each study has a clear focus, unique data needs, and specific goals. Before you enroll, we’ll tell you exactly who we’re working with, which data is being collected, where it’s going, and how it’s being used. Ironically, the page loads JS from https://cdn-3.convertexperiments.com https://cdn-3.convertexperiments.com (seems to belong to convert.com) and Twitter, without disclosing the fact that Mozilla is sharing your browser data with those two entities. I'm a daily Firefox user myself, but I can't help to feel that each political effort they try to execute either backfires, or draws resources from what really has to be done: developing and maintaining a excellent user agent for the open web.

This is why (for the narrow demographic that bothers to care) uMatrix is such an awesome tool. This page is completely functional without loading either of those domains' shovelware -- and it saves laptop battery life too. This is true for most pages. Ironic indeed that it's mozilla.org illustrating this point. Block everything by default! Block all the things!

  uMatrix and it's cousin is truly a miracle for the web! I've run it (or a variant of it) for as long as I can remember. The requests were blocked in my browser, but the reason I checked in the first is the same reason I check every time some service claims to be pro-privacy or other similar things like this landing page: Are you actually living up to your words? In this case, they didn't, and honestly, there is not a cases where they do live up to their word 100%.
