Scandal is probably a bit sensationalist. It's doing what every other bit of modern software does and sending off telemetry - is that really scandalous? It even has a fairly easy to find "don't analyse me" button.

Besides, installing this browser on a smartphone for the purpose of regaining some privacy is like ordering the biggest meal McDonalds sells, but with a Diet Coke because you're "watching your weight" - pretty pointless.
