>Germany >1% of Germans I got bigger things to worry about than 1% of Germans signing up for a botnet
Matthew Parker
It's on every FF version on 57.
Just double click and delete this values
David Torres
>1 % of Germans >can be disabled by disabling Telemetry and Crash Reports It's nothing.
Josiah Barnes
The news article is in German, the extension will be added world wide
Joseph Perry
>they will know you visit Sup Forums Wow, its fucking nothing
Liam Nguyen
57 and Nightly are beta versions. They use aggressive telemetry, just like any other modern beta software. By turning off Telemetry in Settings you're not sending any data to Mozilla or Shitz, but why would you use beta software anyway? Just stick with Release or ESR.
Colton Lopez
>I know how to disable it so it's OK if they fuck the normal users Retard. Bet you also use win10 with some "botnet removal tool"
Jacob Baker
This is an external ad company which sells usage statistics. It has nothing to do with mozilla
Jackson Powell
i don't think normal people use firefox lol
Jason Rogers
because it is good, fast and stable and I have checked off all telemetry stuff from it. But the subject on hand is not about beta or nightly. Shitz will be embedded on all versions of ff after 57 worldwide. see
Dylan Ramirez
Pale Meme or Waterfox don't have this problem.
Landon Sullivan
Have you tried Nightly? It not only looks better than stable but it's also a lot faster. Though admittable I haven't tried stable for some time.
Luke Cox
Go back to your safe space
Bentley Edwards
They won't. Mozilla only collects anonymous telemetry. What this means is that they will bundle all data and then analyze it; instead of doing it in a user case. They don't log IPs, and IIRC data is sent to a server which bundles it, and then sent to analyze to another one in regular intervals. Mozilla isn't an ad company like Google nor do they sell information to other companies like Microsoft; all they care about is what % of users got a crash or slowdown in YouTube and shit. >inb4 >>>>muh jew illuminati botnet You can audit the source code (that is implying you can even read code.)
>believing that they won't ship it to all users after the test run
Caleb Barnes
I'm not kidding you, I've been getting input lag on Firefox 56 when typing up posts on Sup Forums. I'll type a word, it'll just freeze and then two seconds later it'll spit out all the letters that I typed at once. That's not all, there's a noticeable lag when I load pages, image hover, and even click on another tab.
I've retreated to Chromium right now for the time being, where it's snappy and everything works. What the fuck is wrong with Firefox? Firefox has never been this bad before.
Cameron Baker
>it's not mozilla is shit, i-i-it's just you are dumb! This is not pathetic, this is just disgusting.
Chase Parker
> includes: URLs of websites you visit, and for how long, queries sent to search engines, and text typed in the URL bar
Basically everything you need. Someone should start mass spamming them with retarded search queries
Justin Young
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP USING FIRECUX RIGHT NOW
Carter Cook
Unlike Windows, Firefox does ask users on the first run if they want to share data or not. By turning it off, it's actually turned off. For what I can gather, Shitz is a search engine and the owner of Ghostery, doesn't seem like an ad company, but why the fuck do they need to collect that much data?
James Bell
This crap will be opt-out, not opt-in
Connor Edwards
>mozilla actually invested into a tracking company hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The cliqz experiment happened in january this year. They are now integrating it into stable
Colton Green
It's not a tracking company, it's a search engine. They receive the text you input in the URL bar because that's what search engines do (unless you turn off Search Suggestions.) Basically, 1 % of users will receive Search Suggestions from Shitz instead of Google. The real problem here is that they record what pages are visited and for how long, which is unnecessary and ridiculous.
Caleb Miller
>it's not a tracking company but they track their users ok
Chase Garcia
Have you heard of Privacy Badger and uBlock? and if anything, Chrome is 200% worse. Firefox and Opera is the best choice for common Linux goys.
Nathan Bennett
wow it's fucking nothing
Anthony Rogers
user...
Landon Roberts
Source? I can't find any information on that. If they wanted to ship it in every Release, why are they including it with only 1 % of German users? This sounds more like a Test Pilot thing, and those are rarely bundled with Release.
Anthony Morales
>mozilla invests in search results with an ad type agency for telemetry capability >cripples add ons >cancerous workplace nonsense can mozilla just die already?
Ethan Garcia
Mozilla going the SourceForge way.
Oliver Garcia
The problem with OSS is that they're left behind, financially. No one wants to donate. They need a way to make cash, so eventually, they give in, and sneak some shit into their software.
I just booted up Ubuntu, and had fucking Amazon pinned to my taskbar. I didn't put that shit there, that's a fact.
Canonical also sells your data via search terms.
Free software is dying, it cannot survive.
James Fisher
install gentoo
Aiden Ortiz
Just unpin it you fucking whiner. A shortcut isn't a botnet.
David Ortiz
>The problem with OSS is that they're left behind, financially.
Connor Torres
Did you install a version from 5 years ago?
Thomas Reed
What's this? It looks like a millionaires house that I worked at.
I'm not saying what I said is true for all software, but a lot of it.
Reaaaalllllyy?
No, 16.04 LTS
Grayson Myers
I am surprised they can get away with this in Germany, especially with German privacy laws.
Nice Privacy protecting browser you have there, assholes.
Camden Nelson
>>cancerous workplace nonsense Elaborate?
Charles Jenkins
Nice "brigading" anons
Oliver Cooper
>SUMMARIZED CHANGES >- No Cliqz logo >- Change screenshot to remove privacy panel >- Change/remove language around the privacy panel (data remains on your computer)
Someone replies >Is this some kind of joke? >Gets marked as spam
I love my privacy and people who *truly care* about it.
John Robinson
>anons Go back and stay back
Oliver Parker
Calm yourself /u/Antabaka, no one's raping (aka "brigading") you here.
Hunter Walker
Ewwwwwwww, those fucking SJWs turned Firefox into complete CANCER. One more piece of software to avoid in the future.
Hudson Cox
Just use Brave you firecucks.
Jackson Fisher
Why?
Josiah Scott
...
Jaxon Lewis
Because it uses the best rendering engine aka Blink.
Luke Lewis
>ever updating to the new engine disable updates and you don't have that problem
Henry Jenkins
inb4 >muh security Use something ultra-hardened for banking. You should keep most of your money in a separate, physical access-only account anyway.
Owen Morgan
there's no such thing as security in a web browser
Lucas Cox
this
Andrew Gonzalez
I was on waterfox when firefox turned into a literal botnet.
Lucas Thomas
that's why i'm ridiculing by using 'muh' anyway doing your banking in unupdated browser is just asking for trouble
Hunter Reyes
Have you heard of web-extensions and how they can't block requests made by other addons or restricted pages?
Grayson Wright
The lack of morals on display here is incredible
Liam Lee
Antabaka moderator on firefox and mozilla subredits that decided to delete posts locked the thread and shadow remove another one.
I've seen even a mozilla dev saying that he has revised some code and it was not leaking nothing to webs in reply to someone on reddit and he proved him wrong easily.
not sure if he just lied about checking the code or he just can't code at all.
Haven't checked this particular code myself but i'm not going to blindly thrust them cause they tend to lie or are just plainly incompetent.
Justin Wilson
Is there a build of firefox without the bloatware that isn't just some obsolete version of firefox like palemoon?
Cameron Walker
Sad to see this happening to firefox, but it's not even the first time they've discussed this kind of shady shit like it's totally normal.
Dominic King
Waerfox is probably as close as you'll get without building it yourself, I used it for a bit and I think at that time it came without pocket and as much telemetry. In palemoon's defence though its more than just an old build of firefox, if you truly care about getting rid of bloat and misfeatures it might be worth another look.
Logan Smith
I don't want obsolete builds of firefox, I like the general direction that firefox itself is headed I just don't want the malware bundled with it.
Robert Cooper
It's not a firefox build anymore, it's not even using gecko.
Liam Garcia
why not just use firefox to go to stormfront and Sup Forums if they are doing that
Waterfox seems like the best option right now. Thanks anons
Jason Torres
>Where were you when firefox turned into a literal botnet? someplace younger and fatter
Sebastian Richardson
it's becoming really hard to defend mozilla when they got niggers like that fat kike trying to fuck people over with absolutely no regards to morals
Gavin Russell
same thing here. most likely they have to slow down ff now in order to boost the performance in 57 for a noticable effect
Aiden Walker
If you use chromium you might as well use chrome.
James Myers
pushing out the ceo for privately donating his own money to a traditional marriage political campaign
Lucas Green
This. Half the comments are gone, especially the ones exposing cliqz shady behaviour.
Matthew Lee
This "Human Web" thing sounds kind of neat, if it does what I think it does (that is, it removes SEO and other crap from search results because it sees that users back out from those pages quickly). Sounds like a good way to build a better search engine and finally kill Google.
>only affects cucks living in germany I wish more companies would implement third world country-exclusive botnets to get their profit and leave the American version botnet-free. I'm switching back to firefox because of this.
Brandon Gonzalez
They're also in Firefox v55.0.3, wow.
Nolan Parker
I love the PR spin being put on it by a complete stranger who has no affiliation whatsoever with Cliqz or Mozilla. (And I know this for a fact because they said so.) >we're not recording your mouse movements, we're just recording your mouse movements lolwat?
