We’ll see how often telemetry about your usage patterns is sent to Mozilla after this change…

Don't they publish the source code?

Yes, they do. So, we should look into that.

You sound like an alarmist scaremonger

Do I? We should verify that Mozilla, who has recently been making changes that appear to go back on their word about data collection, is actually still holding to that principle, no? That’s scaremongering?

No, that is responsibility.

And I hope that they aren’t collecting data and selling it, and I hope we can prove that. But we should prove that, and because it is open source, we can; or we might discover that we cannot. Or we might discover that they aren’t.

My whole point, this whole time, is that we should not take their word. We should know.
