    For anyone confused it appears that their telemetry service was called “Adjust” which is why it’s capitalized

    I installed Firefox on two laptops today, it seemed to be disabled by default.

      It sounds like it was just a thing for the browser on android/mobile

        I remember having to disable it in my existing installation. But I also could be imagining things.

        I can’t install Librewolf as the main browser in my work environment. Firefox is fine for everyone at my work.

          Out of curiosity, is it because they haven’t approved it or do they see some problem with it?

            They dont even know about it. I just got Firefox approved like a year or two ago. I just have bigger fish to fry than another browser my users didn’t ask for.

    Down with telemetry. Hell, down with metry as well for that matter. I do not want to be measured, analyzed, scrutinized, quantized, and serialized every time I open the damn web browser. It’s time to put a stop to this garbage. Knock it off already, Mozilla, and Microsoft, and Amazon, and Netflix, and the weird guy with binoculars who’s probably hiding in the woods looking into my windows right now. I had enough. Leave us alone, already.
