@ryanc my conspiracy theory is that these "privacy discussions" are being pushed by scraper authors who want to appear as legitimate browsers and are lacking (efficient) tech for it.

I'm not going to rant about this at length, but I have never seen a tool that assesses fingerprintability of browsers which is not complete utter bullshit. -
If your idea of a good configuration file format is JSON, you are not a daemon I will ever run voluntarily.@cks json5 is fine in your book, right?

Firefox updated their Terms of Use?@javi Reading through this and the follow-up replies you still haven't sourced your claim that they upload _browsing history_ (or in your words, "everything"). You've pivoted to click-rate on ads, which are absolutely not the same. You say "they use your browser's data to do targeted advertising" but i'm talking about which exact data they use. That shit matters.

Firefox updated their Terms of Use?@javi I don't understand where you read out of this that they upload your browsing history anywhere. That the Omnibar shows my browsing history together with search suggestions is already how it works today.
