Why do people keep acting like firefox is a privacy respecting browser?

It may be true that browsing about:addons (as described in the cited source) pings Google analytics (untested by me), but the source bug report also links to this description of legal contracts between Mozilla and Google that clearly show that Google is prevented from mining or sharing this data. Google may stil have access to the data (couldn't find a reference), but I'm sure UBO has a thing or two to say about that.

How does something being open source inherently make it more ethical? Is an OSS that spys on all of your information more ethical than a proprietary software that doesn't? It's not like it's an impossibility for OSS to be malicious!

In the case of WSJ, these two little things will bypass the paywall:
1) use "https://www.drudgereport.com/" as the Referer for "www.wsj.com"
2) block the cookies
I'm using a proxy server that allows me to do this so I don't need the extension.
