Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I’m new to Firefox and I’m just wondering what everyone thinks about the other services like Monitor, Mozilla VPN, Pocket, Relay etc.

Are they worth it? Do other people use these? Why or why not?

Thanks in advance!

Never used them, nor heard of them, only about Pocket. But I don't think it's a good idea to give mozila more data.

What's your reasoning for that stance? Has there been any breaches or leaks with Mozilla of which we should be made aware?

[–] GregorGizeh 6 points 1 year ago

Personally I am not aware of any such breaches, but even though I really like Mozilla I still try to obfuscate data collected about me by any entity. Your data is not a commodity you should be handing out freely if at all avoidable.
