I wouldn't touch these hobby forks with a 10 foot pole.

But you've got no problem running a globohomo browser that is made by people who make known their intentions to do harm to you.

I trust these forks even less than Mozilla.

They're both open source, what's the difference?

This data will allow us to correlate telemetry IDs with download tokens and Google Analytics IDs. This will allow us to track which installs result from which downloads to determine the answers to questions like, "Why do we see so many installs per day, but not that many downloads per day?"

Firefox users who prefer to download the browser without the unique identifier may do so in the following two ways:

1. Download the Firefox installer from Mozilla's HTTPS repository (formerly the FTP repository).
2. Download Firefox from third-party download sites that host the installer, e.g., from Softonic.

"Why do we see so many installs per day, but not that many downloads per day?"

Easy answer.

None of your fucking business cunt.

LMAO.
Sounds like blockchain has matured for Firefox downloads.

Isn't this what everyone was promoting? "We'll blockchain EVERYTHING!"

"All the ballots use blockchain!"
