  • Someone is busy trying to make people uneasy about Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox.

    This smells like a smear campaign, and sadly enough, the feddiverse is buying into it - big time!

    I don’t mind giving Mozilla some telemetry, because I actually have no reason to believe, that they are not anonymizing it, and that they use it to do anything else than make their product better for us. Can anyone show anything else? No, they can’t…

    This is probably paid propaganda, from someone who wants you to leave Mozilla - the prime organisation that fights for internet users rights and privacy.

    Well, Mozilla makes contact to pages because it checks for your calendar, your mail, updates to your addons, updates to the browser/mail client, sends anonymous telemetry, that helps them make the software better, and doesn’t compromise you in any way. If you have addons installed, they might contact different sites to update blocking lists, change settings to bypass some youtube setting and so forth.

    Get informed, and not by haters here, don’t panic!





  • This sounds like a piece written by someone hurt in the place that is highest, when plucking strawberries.

    What a whining “opinion”, and opening up for others to whine too…

    You know what? Not a single one, can find a browser that does everything you want, the way you want it done, and only that. _Now, grow up, and then start influencing the best browser, who has fought for decades for users rights and privacy. The reason they have to compromise a bit, is because users just don’t care - in general.
