DISQUS

Usually I am not a really big fan of Java, .Net and Mono...

But what you guys did is quite amazing. You should be proud!

Congrats!

Mein Diamond hat damit keine Probleme. Die Tastatur versucht einfach nicht schlau zu sein.

Und wieso auch? Ich wäre doch sowieso schlauer ;)

Ben .. not explaining heise readers: "Ask Firefox’s 170 million (and growing) user base if they would like to opt in to anonymous data collection on their surfing habits."(techcrunch) & not mentioning that it will be "opt in" ( with proper german translation ) & the sensationalistic headline smells like misleading in my book. ( To tell you the truth I was pissed at first too .. but reading all links and talking to people helped. )
But to be honest i would probably never activate such a "feature" and I think a lot of people have VERY bad association with data collection. You guys need to come up with other way to describe it.

And John ... it is true that data collection happens everywhere .. and that is mostly bad and I do not think that if Mozilla started to do it too it would lessen it anywhere else .. bottom line would be more data collection. There is so much misuse happening and I just do not want my personal data stored in the U.S. Best data protection is not collecting it in the first place.

Thanks for the answer John. You have to understand privacy is a big topic in Germany ( and it should be everywhere ). So i think the right way to communicate this would be to say that it will be optional and turned off by default _upfront_.
( BTW the influx of negative commments is probably due to heise.de ( kinda german /. ) headlining "Mozilla wants to collect User data" ). Maybe you should complain to the aproriate reporter for blowing this out of porportion.

So basically Firefox will be spyware .. great move!
