    You can’t guarantee it is isn’t stored somewhere or checked by someone between you and Mozilla and used against you. Even your ISP can use Mozilla’s calling home against you.

      OK, but what do you expect companies to do about this? There’s literally no way to browse the web without revealing your IP address. Are you saying that every single company online is collecting PII?

      Even just checking for updates (which happens in the background with all modern software) would connect to Mozilla’s servers.

        I except things to be kept on a reasonable level and that doesn’t include the amount of connections Firefox does, nor contacting a 3rd party analytics company.

        What I also expect is to have simple toggles instead of having to spend half an hour going over advanced config, disable everything that can be disabled and still having it making connections to 3rd parties. Is it that hard to be transparent and make things right?
