Even on the linked page, Mozilla is arguably being evasive about the fact that they're sending the data out the Internet at all.

We don't know whether this is another time that Mozilla execs have sold out users, or shipped something half-baked and vulnerable.

I'm not saying they're leaking the data (by agreement, or negligence), but Mozilla has mediocre credibility in recent years, and there's nothing on this page that improves that reputation.

Regarding Google, for a long time, their thinking seemed to be "We're Google, so of course anything we do is privacy-respecting", not as guidance, but to justify whatever they wanted to do. Also, every time Google gets caught with their hand in the private information cookie jar, it just mints a new industry standard practice.

I think you read too much HN and aren’t aware about all the stuff going on in the background at Mozilla.

If there’s one company I would trust, it would be them. Their marketing has been mediocre and I’m not 100% sure about if I like their future decisions, but I trust them 100%.
