Wow. Such a good argument. I want a browser. Not something that tries to use my data to "recommend" (read advertise" news content to me (as Pocket does with it's mails). I am not sure who pays what for these recommendations, but when I sign up for a browser, I do not want a content delivery scheme being shoved down my throat.

Esp. from a company that tries to brainwash me with this "we care for your privacy" shit. While still using my data.

If they cared for my privacy, they would provide a browser that does not tell FF/Mozilla anything about me other then that I did download it via their original dl-link.

All else the talk about respecting my privacy, my data and stuff like this is nothing more. Just talk. And I do not like being bullshitted.

And that is the difference to Chrome: I know - because Google tells me - My data is being used. I know what I am in for. This is honesty - even if the end result is that I am the product. At least I am it knowingly.
