By default now Firefox for Android shares an extra link with TRACKING for advertising itself. This is the features that everyone loves.
Ok, buried in the menu there’s an option to disable this shit. But it’s infuriating that a “please spam my friends and track the opening rate of my links” option is enabled by default
it’s firefox for android (google play build) 145.0.1 build 2016126887 (18th November 2:22:23) and i found out now that the option “install and run studies” in “data collection” is enabled (it’s opt-out and I was not aware of that)
I guess you turned the studies off now? Is the option for these inserted links still present?
I hope it was indeed just a study, and if so that the devs will get the memo because this is some serious bullshit…
Yes now the option it’s completely gone from the settings, even the menu where it was hidden is gone
I see, i tested it now and also got it:
What a dogshit idea. I guess I’ll go complain on their forums.
