If Mozilla really cares about your privacy, why do you have to install extensions in Firefox to get it?

By the way, Firefox does track you. At the very least, it phones home, and it gives each installer a unique identifier.



There's a vast difference between Mozilla's telemetry and Google's user tracking.


Mozilla actively removed the ability to conveniently disable javascript, and left deleting cookies or localStorage from specific sites hellishly difficult. Mozilla somewhat cares about press releasing about your privacy.


If you use Firefox Focus, you don’t need to install extensions.
