Shouty personRecently, someone on here posted about an alternative, <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a>-based browser that was better for privacy and security than Firefox. But I can't remember what it was called or who said it. Maybe someone from <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infosec</a>-exchange?

Youssuff QuipsI looked on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reddit</a> and the general tech press to see if the community had understood what is obvious today – enabling this setting by default allowed <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> to further monetize the new tab page. I found afnan-khan’s sad submission of Mozilla’s privacy notice post. 13 net upvotes, 0 comments.A massively consequential change with regards to data sharing in advertising, and the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> community had nothing to say about it.<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/736o33/improving_the_firefox_privacy_notice/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/736o33/improving_the_firefox_privacy_notice/</a>

Youssuff QuipsIt’s finally making sense. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> reduced granularity into the options for data collection in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a>, enabled additional data collection by default, and gave itself the ability to use this new data for advertising purposes. Users would have to opt out of this data collection for it not to be used for advertising purposes (a purpose that Mozilla in this iteration is not forthright about).

Neff :manjaro: :ubuntumate:Nice conversation between Nick of <a href="https://mastodon.social/@thelinuxEXP" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thelinuxEXP</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/@ryanleesipes" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ryanleesipes</a> from <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Thunderbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thunderbird</a>. Personally, I believe <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> really needs to return to its roots by focusing on developing software and less on political and idealistic goals, which can be easily promoted by other organizations. Mozilla should look at how other open-source projects work, where the priority is to listen to what the community wants and to develop with their current users in mind.<a href="https://mastodon.social/@thelinuxEXP/114150049642765849" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@thelinuxEXP/114150049642765849</a>

Youssuff QuipsTL;DR: With Firefox 56, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> combined Firefox Health Report and Telemetry data into a single setting called “technical and interaction data”, which was then enabled by default. This included data about advertising within Firefox’s New Tab page, along with a lot of other technical information about the installation of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a>. The Firefox preferences UI makes no mention of usage of this technical data for advertising purposes. <a href="https://www.quippd.com/writing/2025/03/12/mozilla-has-been-sharing-aggregated-firefox-data-with-advertisers-since-2017-when-it-enabled-telemetry-by-default.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.quippd.com/writing/2025/03/12/mozilla-has-been-sharing-aggregated-firefox-data-with-advertisers-since-2017-when-it-enabled-telemetry-by-default.html</a>🧵
