"Relevant" is a code word for "we spy on your every move and also share your personal browsing behaviour with our many external partners to serve you relevant ads".

They don't do any of those things, according to the article. Perhaps you didn't read it.

It's clear that some people would rather jump at any opportunity to smear Mozilla and stoke outrage than engage in serious discussion.

For those who actually want to understand the feature, and its implications for privacy and data sharing, https://blog.mozilla.org/data/2021/09/15/data-and-firefox-su... is a starting point.

Suggesting someone didn’t read the article is against the HN guidelines.
