But you can get alternatives which have the telemetry removed. Like VSCodium and some Firefox forks. And instead of every distro needing to do those patches themselves, they can share the effort.
- Arnavion 3y agoMaintaining a firefox fork is a much bigger job than putting `--with-unsigned-addon-scopes=app --allow-addon-sideload` in the package build script. Distros already share effort implicitly because maintainers of distro X often look at what distro Y is doing for that package. Also users compare distros frequently and will tell the maintainer of distro X that the same thing works with distro Y.
- rlpb 3y agoBut a user has to know to look for these alternatives. Use a distro you trust and you don't have to.
