there is not a single mention that free software (like Firefox/forks) can
also report that you are "reading page 5" (through telemetry)
The telemetry component does not report the pages the users visit.
Doesn't that say that in the world of free software you won't be a victim? -
Yes, it does.
A victim of proprietary software, yes. Proprietary software that makes its
users helpless and divided. Free software does not. That does not mean in
any way that free software has no vulnerability. And RMS never says so. As
written on the page I pointed to you: "Every nontrivial program has bugs, and
any system, free or proprietary, may have security errors. To err is human,
and not culpable."
Do you think that free software is safer than proprietary?
Claiming that "free software implies *more* safety" is different from
claiming that "free software implies safety".
Deliberately creating telemetry for continuous and detailed data collection
...
And anonymous.
So do free software developers (Mozilla), yet your favorite bible doesn't say
a word about it. They would rather tell you "use IceCat and look no
further".
FYI, IceCat has the telemetry component disabled.
