What's the point they make in the video? Can't watch it right now.
tl;dw: All browsers have the same "privacy-ruining" features.
Thank you!
Mainly that Firefox has telemetry enabled by default and you have to go into the settings to disable it.
Thank you even more!
What's worse is that they use telemetry data to justify removal of the features. They say that only a tiny minority users use them but ignore the fact that most of the users of those features are power users who have telemetry disabled.
