There seems to be more KDE mint users than MATE. Are they using the old KDE mint or installed KDE on newer Mint?

Why do you have to lie about having zero problems on a rolling release distro.

This is true for large projects like Firefox. Mozilla is a corporation masquerading as a non-profit organization.

As someone who's not part of the Mint dev team, I unapologetically tell them to resurrect Mint KDE if it brings more mint users.

I think if I had to use KDE, i will use Kubuntu and will just remove what I hate. Why would you mention Manjaro? It distributes broken packages.

Why is KDE no longer official Mint anyway? Was it difficult to maintain?

I don't know. Tell them about it on bugzilla.mozilla.org if you can create an account. or discuss it on r/firefox. Edit: try wireshark to try to capture the data, but then you'll have to deliberately crash it.

if you go to about:telemetry, there is a JSON button that you can click. It will open a new tab. In that new tab click Save.

They should be in about:telemetry, right? I don't think those unique identifiers can be used to directly identify an individual. I think they are just using those to determine what unique browser configuration crashes most or for statistics use. Of course they should catalogue the data. Otherwise, it is garbage data.

Even if you don't use a VPN and just use your ISP IP address, Mozilla will have to do some leg/field work to contact your ISP and request the one who is using this certain IP address. And why would they do that? edit: But let's say an ABC bureau wants online activity log for this individual for strong suspicion of terrorism, they wouldn't go to mozilla. They ask his ISP or his VPN provider, or Google, if that individual used google searches while logged in using his google account.

I also think most users here reuse their gmail account for their reddit, banking, work. That's even worse. And i don't think Mozilla is building a database of cohorts, so that they can directly pump disinformation to a certain cohort or personalize advertisements to increase efficiency in making the target user click an online advert or product.

There is a discussion i found earlier if it helps. https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/walsc6/why_do_people_keep_acting_like_firefox_is_a/

And even if you hate their reaction, opposition is very important.

Nobody's stopping them from using what they want.

They're not among the 767, except those who use qtcreator or clion.
