I don't really understand telemetry. How is Google Analytics helping them to improve the browser? Is it to see which features are actually being used?

- emerged 5y agoThey ignore their users in all other aspects so it seems unlikely to be driven by that.
- brimble 5y agoImagine you could stick a camera over your users' shoulders, mostly without them knowing you're doing it, instead of doing actual user research. That's what the stuff's for. Some of the tools for these things record entire sessions, including mouse movements. It's creepy as hell and even the tamest of "telemetry" 100% would have gotten something classed, unambiguously, as spyware, in the distant past of ~15-20 years ago.
