I've read the announcement. Sounds reasonable and sufficiently private to me. So saying "Mozilla wants your data" sounds misleading and like an overreaction to me. Also might help to mitigate the arms race in privacy protection versus tracking for ads and worse stuff.

Mozilla is definitely going to try more scummy crap like this in the future.

How do you know that?

Even if, there will still be alternatives. But right now, Firefox is the best browser with regards to privacy and security. It even passed minmum ratings by the german IT security authority, contrary to other widely used browsers.

Respectefully disagree. Reasonable would've been making it opt in, not opt out and justifying it with "would be too difficult to explain".

I'm with you on the opt-out vs. opt-in part. That's not a nice move. Regardless of that, Firefox is still the best choice. I hope they will continue to improve.
