How does Librewolf improve on this?
It specifically removes all of Mozilla's telemetry.
Good.
Tor Browser and Mullvad browser also do this.
So does Icecat and it even cuts out sync as well, where LibreWolf leaves it in and disables it by default, leaving it up to the user to enable at their leisure.
I really, really want to use Librewolf. I'm on WaterFox until they have a binary build available that doesn't fail MacOS security checks on launch.
You can turn off telemetry, but that doesn't save Mozilla from ire for pulling this, it's still a shitty move regardless, it's an answer to the problem, but it doesn't justify the problem's existence or exempt Mozilla from ridicule for it, it's still a problem and it's still a crappy move for someone to pull.
I've been saying this for years. And getting shit on for it. It was in the Privacy Policy the whole time.
Wish I had seen your comments previously!
