wolfPrivacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
Uncheck the box labeled Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement.
And, we’re back to normal?
Possibly linuxYes but Firefox still has telemetry.
Uncheck that box too
You can’t turn it off completely and even if you did it would still send the data before you unchecked it. Better to use something else like Librewolf
Pi-Hole seems to do a great job blocking telemetry.Mozilla.com at home
Why is it necessary
Why is telemetry useful or why is it needed to use pi-hole to block telemetry?
Telemetry is useful to know what features your customers use. While it’s great in theory to have product managers who dogfood and can act on everyone’s behalf, the reality is telemetry ensures your favorite feature keeps being maintained. It helps ensure the bugs you see get triaged and root caused.
Unfortunately telemetry has grown to mean too many things for different people. Telemetry can refer to feature usage, bug tracking, advertising, behavior tracking.
Is there evidence that even when you disable telemetry in Firefox it still reports telemetry? That seems like a strong claim for Firefox.
It is way easier to start with a clean slate and to avoid Mozilla randomly turning on antifeatures. Stock Firefox as so much wrong with it. I don’t need to care on Librewolf as all of those have been stripped out and it is a clean experience
