I mean, it doesn't look like it's personally identifiable at all, just aggregate.

IMO, that's splitting a hair.
For a browser that supposedly respects user privacy, the fact that this is opt-out rather than opt-in really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I'm going to reconsider my monthly recurring donation to Mozilla, especially if they keep this up.

Adjust isn't google adservices. The difference is staggering, actually, and way more than a hair's split on identifying information not being included.

I can't help but see it as the foot in the door.
I understand that Mozilla needs money, but I can't make everyone who uses Firefox commit to donating money to keep them from having to do things like this to stay afloat. But them going down this path makes me not want to donate at all.

I hate to break it to you but you aren't a significant source of income for Mozilla. You are the product not the customer.

I never said I was, just that I wanted to support the browser that respects my privacy, and this move is making me reconsider it.
As long as it's open source someone will be able to find a way to turn it off, either by an addon or by patching and compiling the source code.
