@thisismissem @isagalaev @jalcine awesome, welcome to the fold!!

I don't want to overwhelm you, so don't stress too much, but Firefox *does* send a fair amount of telemetry by default β€” nowhere near as bad as Chrome, and it isn't actively getting worse like Chrome is, or being sent to ad companies, but it's there[1]. If you want to disable it, here's a simple guide that changes your browser's actual behavior as little as possible:

And here's a guide on how to install a much more extensive configuration: spyware.neocities.org/guides/f

@anarchopunk_girl I looked at the telemetry and it seemed both anonymised and not to include specific browsing data, so I left it on.

@thisismissem there are several things they send that are uniquely identifying (see the self-repair requests, or the stuff they send in safe browsing mode), but honestly yeah, it's totally up to you β€” they're not collecting nearly as much info as almost anyone else, nor are they using it for anything beyond improving the browser, so if it doesn't bother you, hey, who am I to tell you you're wrong about your own threat model!
