Telemetry disabled by default for me. Maybe because I didn’t want to contribute to Mozilla Firefox after I installed it.
“Telemetry disabled by default for me.”
Same here. I don’t remember klicking it off.
for me I went to
Tools > Options > Advanced > Data Choices > unclicked Enable Telemetry
Just because they might share the usage stats that doesnt mean it is not anonymous.
Anoymous:
1-without any name acknowledged, as that of author, contributor, or
the like: an anonymous letter to the editor; an anonymous donation.
2.Of unknown name; whose name is withheld: an anonymous author.
and for me the telemetry is turned off by default.
Go to about:telemetry to see what Firefox will send in Telemetry. Nothing personal there. And for sure nothing that identify me as me.
