Wow, I had always assumed that Firefox didn’t use telemetry.

This is worrisome. Is there a modern browser available that doesn’t try to spy on you?

Pretty much every time I've installed a fresh Firefox, all the telemetry is enabled by default. Opt out instead of opt in. Surprising considering what they sell themselves as.

No, firefox is still the most private browser out of the big three.
