It's basically a `if (random() > threshold) POST cookie-less-origin/telemetry-{{ telemetry_enabled() ? "enabled" : "disabled"}}`.
I don't consider this telemetry. It does not keep any data on you, track you over time, or even fingerprint you.
I think this is a great way to get an approximate usage stat, while preserving privacy, respecting the no-telemetry choice, and keeping network overhead ridiculously low.

There is a) a trust issue and b) a disregard of my wishes issue, which only reinforces (a). > I think this is a great way to get an approximate usage stat It doesn't matter how great this is for its intended purpose, that does not make it right. > keeping network overhead ridiculously low 0 network connections outside of what I browse is what I asked for, "any" is ridiculously high compared to that.
