If a browser user is concerned about privacy, I don't see how Firefox is really all that much better of an option.

Read the Firefox Privacy Notice, for example: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/

It sounds to me like Firefox can collect and send out a lot of information beyond what is necessary for user-initiated browsing actions to be performed.

There are also numerous references to sharing information/data with "partners".

Maybe that data collection, transmission, and sharing can be disabled easier than in other browsers. A browser that truly respected user privacy, however, just wouldn't include such functionality to begin with.



If I gotta pick a leaky bucket, I am going to pick one with a smaller hole.
