What are the domains, and how do you find them? Can I use a wildcard like *.mozilla.net and still firefox/thunderbird works?
Thanks!

Hmm, this telemetry can just be disabled, can’t it?
The question is, can you trust Mozilla to respect those settings, to not change them, and to not remove them? Judging by the events of the last week, I certainly wouldn’t. I would prefer a solution that is entirely out of Mozilla’s control.
What? What?
Their track record has no instance of them not respecting settings! A track record of multiple decades! The code is fully auditable, so any of those shenanigans would be caught immediately!
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills lately.
We need to be on guard and verify they don’t do this shit, but outright expecting it? When Firefox also has a history of absolutely abysmal PR on shit like this, without the follow up of abysmal practices?
It feels like accelerationism. Like people want Firefox to fail, rather than just wanting to be prepared if it does.
Check the wording. I said Mozilla, not Firefox.
I think Firefox is a great product and want it to succeed, but lately Mozilla has been burning its reputation by chasing the advertising and AI trends. Make no mistake, they are a for-profit company. That doesn’t mean their products should be shunned, but they shouldn’t be exempt from skepticism and rational distrust simply for being the lesser evil.
My apologies, with the collective chicken little-ing around Firefox I didn’t read as clearly as I should have.
Yeah, control should be on the user’s end rather than expecting a website or external resource to not change.
