Firefox tracks you using Google Analytics

>Google has a policy regarding data–it is not shared without explicit consent given by the customer (in this case: Mozilla)
Fucking retard, does he unironically believe Google doesn't keep backups? of fucking course he doesn't, he's a piece of shit who isn't even able to lie for damage control, I really hope he gets castrated by a stray pit bull next time he goes out.

>I'm happy to have a discussion around this and am clearly on the side of user choice, but as you would prefer we do not use Google Analytics at all, many Mozilla Staff and users are either happy we do or ambivilant. We should not presume to make sweeping choices for all users in any direction.
>Regarding opt-in/opt-out: I believe the Firefox first-run experience asks users to opt-in to sharing usage data. What I'm saying is that it'd be great to hook into that setting to tell about:addons whether or not we should load analytics for that user.

>We have heard the opinions here of people who do not trust Google. For now obviously you can block Google Analytics domains in your DNS settings and opting not to use the about:addons feature (you can also disable the discovery pane from loading by blocking requests to discovery.addons.mozilla.org where the page is hosted). We won't be entertaining the notion that Google will hoard all the data it has agreed to keep anonymous and private for now.

This isn't new, Firefox has been sending Google data since '13/14

>>61339293
Well for a long time most of their revenue came from a deal with google to make them the default search engine. Google was basically keeping them alive to ward off antitrust people. Kinda like why MS kept making Office and shit for the Mac in the 90s.

So what browser is /g/ approved now?

No, because uBlock Origin doesn't work in about:addons, gorhill said the addon wrongly reports that GA is blocked but it actually isn't, check the github thread.

Check the catalog, there's a new /g/ project, but don't have too many expectations, you're gonna be disappointed probably.
Get a VPN and run browser fingerprint tests to see how traceable your browser really is.

Apparently it's only used on the "Get Add-ons" page. By default firefox opens up to the "Extensions" page, as long as you do not click on the "Get Add-ons" link it doesn't really affect you.

I'm on Waterfox, is this something that would affect me? Is this browser anything more than rebranded Firefox at this point?

>>61339529
Microsoft Edge

good to know. thankfully I've always used https://addons.mozilla.com rather than that interface

>>61341883
It's always been rebranded Firefox, you double nigger. The only difference there ever was was that it was recompiled for 64-bit architecture. And the benefits of that are so negligible you might as well be using Firefox on winshit.

>>61340810
Open the dashboard --> Whitelist tab --> add a "#" before "about-scheme" to comment it out.

>negotiated a deal with Google to ensure data was not shared for mining or with other third parties
Lmao. I wonder how do they enforce that. Do they have an access to the servers? Separate database? All logs? Their routers? Personnel on premises? I'd really like to find that out. Maybe read daily journals that their enforcers write.

Aw shit, it doesn't have extensions disabled as default. I really might go back.
>mfw Chrome as default browser since it came out

I think it's time to go back.

Friendly reminder for those suggesting brave is that it's a chromium fork so any problems with chromium most likely get carried over with brave.

Talk to your master RMS if you don't believe in me.

regardless of the browser you use, the ISP will track your shit anyways.

The idea that your connections aren't tracked or logged is moot at this point, that's why it's not about fighting to protect the logging or tracking of online activity, rather encrypting it.

ALL of the anti-Firefox shills can go fuck themselves in this thread, every last one of you. Easy way to disable:

"Firefox users who don't use Get Add-ons can disable the functionality in the following way:

1. Load about:config?filter=extensions.webservice.discoverURL
2. Double-click on the preference, and remove all characters so that the value is blank.
3. Restart Firefox."

It's that simple...

I bet NONE of these "concerned" privacy advocates (aka shills) even have a librebooted thinkpad and are freaking out over a STUPID little script that does very little to affect their privacy, while at the same time their proprietary BIOS and the Intel ME/AMD PSP are LITERALLY raping their system from top to bottom and selling their data and privacy to the highest bidder along with every single five eyes ALPHABET agency out there. Fuck all of you shills, go to hell.

Dumb shits. Stop wasting energy avoiding tracking. Focus on giving them nothing interesting to track. Have a Facebook, just don't post anything on it like a retard. Like through your teeth. If you want to be anonymous, activate Tor.

Enjoy being the paranoid anti-social retard who will be turned down at any company just for being a weirdo and looked down upon by everyone else.

Having a facebook account doesn't mean you have to feed them data.

It's not interested in your pedophilic doujin searches retard. Wanna be safe? Start by defining who your enemy is. If you say "NSA" you've already lost kiddo. If Mossad wants you, you gonna get Mossaded unless you have state-level resources to fight back. Your puny hacktivism doesn't stand a chance.

Tor will defeat tracking and google.

Wow it's fucking nothing.

open about:config
search for "update" and for "http"
Disable ALL updates
Empty all strings that contain "http".
Firefox is quiet like it should be.
Updates are not needed, you do them when you want just by downloading the next one and doing this process again - it takes just 2 minutes anyways. Also you can randomly delete all the files you don't want. For example most of the js-files in the mozilla forder aren't needed. The browser opens anyways. Fun times.

>>61356003
The get addons page doesn't work anymore because I removed something in about:config because of this, but I don't care. You can still install updates by going to the mozilla site directly
