Mozilla "privacy first" Firefox will send Mozilla anything you type into the search bar, location data, and whether you clicked on a suggestion.

They use this to show you search suggestions, including ads.

This is from 2021

They now want to collect more data on what you click on:

Une sorte de surenchère en réponse à #FirefoxSuggest ?

Recently, there has been misinformation about #Mozilla's browser #Firefox claiming that a new feature called #FirefoxSuggest would send any address bar inputs to advertising companies by default.

This is not true.

In reality, all sponsored suggestions are given offline by default, meaning that no additional user data is sent anywhere. Online suggestions are strictly opt-in.

Please do not spread false information.

"se #Mozilla fosse davvero il massimo della trasparenza riguardo alle sue pratiche di raccolta dei dati, perché verresti a sapere di #FirefoxSuggest da un articolo come questo invece di leggerlo chiaramente da un popup di #Firefox?"

2/2 Je demande à la Mozilla Foundation d'évaluer un schéma de financement consistant à demander 1€ par mois ou 10€ pour une licence à vie en échange d'un Firefox vraiment propre, qui nous dispenserait de le bidouiller pour avoir la paix.

1/2 Mozilla cherche des sous. Jusque là, pas d'objection. Mais n'y a-t-il vraiment rien d'autre que le business publicitaire pour ça ? Cette industrie salit tout ce qu'elle touche, incapable qu'elle est de se réinventer. Souvenez-vous de Netscape première époque : on payait une somme dérisoire pour l'utiliser et ça finançait le développement d'un produit efficace et propre.

#FirefoxSuggest

I'm all for #firefox
continung to evolve fast and event to include sponsorships etc...as long as they keep very tight to their commitments to privacy.

And so far, like #FirefoxSuggest
