Does anyone here not opt out of the telemetry data that Firefox collects by default? (lemm.ee)

I am just curious because I had it off for a long time but have recently started to opt back in because I am too lazy to report every single bug I encounter when browsing the web but I do want to see Mozilla improve Firefox.

Honestly, I have no idea what mine is set to, and the average user won't either. Just messing with the settings is borderline power user stuff these days, when you factor in the general public. I did something with my settings the day I installed and I haven't looked back.

That being said, a lemmy sub for Firefox ain't exactly a representative sample of the general population.

If understanding and adjusting the settings is a power user, tweaking about:config is basically a dev then I guess, ah? lol
