    You can make money online without surveillance advertising, it’s a very bad habit which put Google and his advertising companies (Alphabet, NEST, etc) in control of the network, making money with the privacy and security of the user. You can opt out of this surveillance, but only to request it directly in Alphabet Inc with your personal data, nice.

      But there is no tunnelling of data to Google happening, while you use Firefox? Firefox itself is not giving your data to Google. You can turn off Safebrowsing feature if you like, that is not spyware.

            Most user can’t, apart this change nothing if you sync in Mozilla, a advanced user can modify the script in FF, but not in Mozilla. Simply download FF from Mozilla.org, Google profile you, also in the updates.

              Most user can’t…

              So you admit that you can, and that if the user chooses to, they can pursue privacy.

                Do you think it’s desirable to have to modify the browser script to make it private, something that normally should be an option in the configuration for any user? Apart from this, also do without sync, or using a third-party server? Don’t make sense
