What does the community think of it? Is it okay for our flagship
applications to carry ads and report tracking data?

I definitely don't want the software I use to phone home and report on
what I'm doing, not any more than what is strictly necessary for
technical reasons.

Mozilla can track impressions, clicks, and the
number of ads a user hides or pins.

I'm wondering how that works. If I disable the ads by setting the new
tab page to about:blank, will that also disable the tracking?

yes it will since it is open source and so mozilla can't and won't risk to still track (despites that you can't track impressions and clicks of something which is not there and if they would, well the advertisment partners kill them for the lie)

so can we please stop the FUD and just disable that feature in Fedora as default? oh

and i have the "about:blank" on the desktop for a long time because i also don't want a tab preview (while nice on the smartphone) just because nobody needs to see what i have recently browsed only because we share the same room
