This is true.

Hilariously...its telemetry to Google is actually more invasive than Chrome, if you MITM it.



> its telemetry to Google

What does this even mean?


It's nonsense. I don't understand all these people ripping on Firefox for absolutely ridiculous reasons. Lack of MIDI support for a 6 year old? Being upset Firefox uses telemetry to improve their product? A minor difference in developer tool design? HN sure has become filled with negativity instead of constructive criticism.

Being upset Firefox co-opts the user's own computer and network connection to spy on them, violating consent, to benefit Mozilla/Firefox's product development efforts.

That's not ridiculous. That's a human rights violation.


Why do you need to mitm it if it's all open source?
