What phoning home can't you disable in about:config?
- ocdtrekkie 4y agoI suspect the core issue isn't that you can't disable new privacy violations in Firefox, but that they're regularly added and default to being enabled, such that keeping them disabled is a regular full-time job. It'd be ideal if there was a single "don't phone home" switch that Firefox obeyed for all new telemetry features, but they don't. That being said, being upset Mozilla has a trash telemetry policy isn't a good excuse to use Chrome, a willfully compromised browser which has refused to implement industry-standard protections.

- freediver 4y agoIt is problematic that phoning home is opt-out to begin with. A browser can not call itself privacy respecting if it is not zero telemetry by default.
