WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it.

“No telemetry” -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.

Found out this by having @littlesnitch@mastodon.obdev installed.

    Homebrew enables Google Analytics by default. Sending telemetry without even warning users to opt out, was a bad look, even before Google was convicted as a monopoly.

    That’s not true anymore. All previously saved Google analytics have been deleted and when you install hombrew for the first time you get an info box about how to opt-out.

        It’s still opt-in by default, but as I said:

        • They do not use google analytics anymore
        • You get a text saying how to opt-out when installing before anything is send to their analytic server

        They are also very transparent on what is send. That’s actually not that bad.
