A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.

      We did fine without it for a very long time. We still do with a lot of software. It’s called voluntarily submitting a bug report and/or core dump.

        If you ask a user to show you a “core dump” they’re more likely to shit on their floor and send you a photo than do what you actually mean.

        Telemetry is absolutely crucial in determining what to focus on in development, to fix issues the users might not even realize exist. Especially for projects that aim at the general public. As long as it’s communicated clearly, used truly only for development purposes and an opt-out is available there’s nothing wrong about it.

          You don’t use the technical term, but you do ask.

          I’m not against telemetry, I’m against making it hundreds of different hidden options.

      Especially software with hundreds of millions of users, that constantly has to deal with bleeding edge attack vectors and compatibility.
