inb4 mention of “Send technical and interaction data to Mozilla” setting, like it's okay for software to be privacy-adversarial by default lolIt is rather obvious why a software designer want to know how a piece of software is used and also to know it over time. If number of cancelled screenshots increases (or decreases) compared to general usage of the screenshot feature it might give an early indication that a recent change was bad (or good).
As long as it only logs counters like this and not who I am or any of my data or who I am I actually want them to log it and if it was disabled and there was an easy way to enable it I would do it.
The problem is that they have:
- a history of not being completely honest (unlike certain other actors who have a history of being actively dishonest)
- no easy way for people to choose what they send
- and a number of other problems, for example what I suspect is that they ignore actual users seemingly in favour of what their ux designers and developers think a user should want. (And that seems to always be dumbing down, "simplifying" and making it more like Chrome.)
