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.

This change was made in response to pressure from HN readers, so thanks to everyone for that.

Problems I Have with GNU Philosophy
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!

You know what, Fuck you
Because Firefox is also horrible, THEY USE GOOGLE ANALYTICS
