What part of Mozilla's behavior makes you assume they don't? It's easy to come up with some dubious internal justification to store IPs (like to determine where to focus internationalization efforts).
- mynameisvlad 5y agoIt's not even internal justification, it's just plainly the default for practically any web server that does logging. You would have to go out of your way to disable it.
- detaro 5y agoNot logging IPs or establishing controls on it is table-stakes for anyone doing anything serious about privacy.
- perryizgr8 5y agoYeah, kind of like not embedding each download with a unique ID. Oops...
- mynameisvlad 5y agoYeah, it definitely is. But that doesn't automatically mean they actually did it. "Best practices" are moot unless they're implemented, and since the default is to log these things, then something (even a blog post from them claiming it's been done) has to exist to show it's there and doing the right thing.
