jqt, any chance you work for Google? Because, not to be rude, but this is something someone from Google would say to try to, oh idk, demonize Mozilla so everyone will forget that Google has marketing profiles for ALL OF US. So if you do work for Google, you should probably give a disclaimer, or just not comment at all.

I think you misunderstood my post. I am arguing that I would prefer Firefox to Chrome.

Nope, I intended it in response to the comment you were responding to, but it went dead before I could submit it. So I just addressed it to that poster, and used your comment as a surrogate. Sorry for the confusion!
Huh?
I feel a lot less concerned about this than who knows what google is doing.

"Cliqz does not build browsing profiles for individual users and discards the user's IP address once the data is collected," the firm added."
[...]
"Consequently, aggregation of user's data in the server-side (on Cliqz premises) is not technically feasible, as we have no means to know who is the original owner of the data," Cliqz says. "This is a strong departure from the industry standard of data collection."
And here's Mozillas info about it: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/archive/firefox-cliqz/...
Why should I be concerned? Given this information, why would I choose Chrome over Firefox for my privacy?
