Is google corrupting Mozilla?

why are you doing this to me?!
well at least there are good forks for the browser out there. how long until they start going chrome route?
Feels like google realized that once normies realize how shiti they are, they will run for firefox which by then hopefully will be a properly gutted front end for an ad company.

No. This is a privacy-protecting option that gathers no additional information about you or your hardware.
The other link posted in reply is overblown fear-mongering from Mozilla's single biggest hater because they bought an ad company.

What information are they gathering then?
-
A single number per ad campaign of how many times an ad view resulted in a visit or purchase.
Mozilla's announcement about it explains it pretty well: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-preserving-attribution
