Sadly that's the common approach nowadays - you can't have an opposite opinion to anything. "I am right and you're morally, ethically, spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely . . . wrong and thus, let me educate you."

People don't want any metrics being collected - that's the point being made by many those who criticize this feature. And Mozilla in the last years eroded trust of their userbase in various ways - remember Mr Robot "experiment" for example? Not mention that introduction of this feature arrived after publishing information that they purchased an ad tech company that's "focused on privacy", created by... former Meta executives.

Firefox landing page comes with such text nowadays:

> Get the browser that protects what’s important

> No shady privacy policies or back doors for advertisers. Just a lightning fast browser that doesn’t sell you out.

I think they should have guts and remove it already because at this point, this is just a false advertising.

I was with Firefox when it was still Phoenix (still using Mozilla Suite at that time) and honestly, it's really sad to see how this project and company from an ally become the enemy after 20 years.
