A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you're not willing to trust what they say about the anonymity of the telemetry system, or to opt out, then I think you wouldn't be happy trusting them with all your passwords in the first place!
If you're willing to stick to Safari, then I think using Apple Keychain is best, especially since they'll be adding sharing this year.
Yeah this is what I don’t get. They already hold your most precious secrets and now you don’t trust them with a telemetry system?! Seems an odd order of concerns to me.
Telemetry, even scrubbed, can provide enough meta data to de-anonomize the user. If the goal is to reduce your threat vectors, than it's a valid concern.
Given data breeches are increasing, the less data that is collected the better.
