A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
What's the point of telemetry in Firefox if anyway the devs do whatever they want ignoring users requests?
I mean, I think the point is to know whether it's the loudest users or the majority of users.
I do think there's a serious problem of removing the human element though. Ticking off 20% of your users might not be a big problem ... unless those 20% of your users are your biggest advocates. That's where I think Mozilla at times loses the forest for the trees.
Honestly, I wouldn't worry about this. Chances are you'll replace your phone way sooner than any of this will come back to bite you. If it was bad enough to be a real problem, there would be much bigger sources talking about it.
