WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it.

"No telemetry" -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.

Found out this by having @littlesnitch@mastodon.obdev installed.

  • They do not use google analytics anymore
  • You get a text saying how to opt-out when installing before anything is send to their analytic server

They are also very transparent on what is send. That's actually not that bad.
