This includes Firefox telemetry, Google Safebrowsing, etc.

Some telemetry settings I found over the years, there may be more

So some telemetry has been disabled with a mozconfig. Not sure what all it disables, but it's a start.

Remove Google's telemetry.

Google safebrowsing telemetry:

I knew Firefox is not better than chrome privacy wise. I would also check the TCP connections that the browser does towards the Mozilla servers.

K4sum1 commented 8 months ago

I have been working on setting these to privacy optimized settings by default. Should be included in next release. Will keep open as there is most likely more to do.

According to a user when using r3dfox and Mercury, "it keeps connecting to 93.243.107.34.bc.googleusercontent.com just like R3dfox did. And if I kill the connection it's coming back 5 seconds later."

I assume this is some sort of Google telemetry.

I'm on r3dfox 122 and I have checked the modem logs, I did not find that url.

Question? Do you plan to just disable it or completely remove the telemetry like Basilisk / Palemoon? since they are two completely different things...

K4sum1 commented 7 months ago

I would like to eventually remove it, but if that proves too much for release builds I guess disabling it would be fine too.
