It's disingenuous, to say the least, to equate Mozilla's telemetry with Google's data gathering to feed its advertising business. These things are vastly different.
- encryptluks2 5y agoChromium is open source too. You can see what settings and telemetry are sent by default, and Mozilla sends just as much. In regards to Chromium using the data for advertising, I'm not sure there is much difference between Google using telemetry data for advertising vs Mozilla sending it to their partners.

- cpeterso 5y agoDoes Google document what telemetry data it collects? Mozilla is not sending telemetry data to partners or using telemetry data for advertising purposes. Here is Mozilla's documentation of the telemetry Firefox records: https://probes.telemetry.mozilla.org/ https://probes.telemetry.mozilla.org/
- encryptluks2 5y agoChromium is open source, but I manage configuration using policies which document the default values: https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/ https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/ It is surprisingly easy to disable telemetry in Chromium as well, and when configuring Firefox using a similar method they send just as much telemetry as Chromium by default.
