Great

I love how Mozilla seems to be trying so hard to kill itself. You don't see Google marketing Chrome as the browser that serves you ads and sends back telemetry.

Not the first time Mozilla has done something like this. In 2017, Mozilla stealthily installed a tracking and advertising plugin called Cliqz on a small number of German user's computers, which provided users with targeted ads, with very similar language to what Mozilla is currently trying to incorporate with Anonym.
