Because by donating to RiseUp, Mozilla have made themselves a political organisation, and political organisations do things for political ends, not privacy ends.

Arrant nonsense

According to those statistics, Japan has a higher gun crime rate than the USA, looking at "Firearm-related deaths per gun per year".
My opinion is that those statistics are not very useful.

Norwegian and USA societies are vastly different. There is absolutely no reason that something that works in one country will work in the other.
For instance, look at the gun ownership/gun crime rates.
I want to add another comment, which is slightly more difficult. You say that your daughters school "has over 30 nationalities, and that it's not a bad thing". I admire you for this. BUT I don't think it's representative of how Norwegian society is, judging from my 6 months working in Oslo.

If this data collection is not declared in the user-agreement, then is it illegal?

I had to use the "Reader" feature of my browser to read the text, for maybe the first time ever.

This is absurd nonsense, but my viewpoint is a lonely one on HackerNews.

"It's funny to catch friends looking at Sublime's payment popup window. I always joke, "oh, you're still evaluating?"
You sound like a really fun guy to know.

It embarrasses me to see such conspiratorial nonsense on this website.
There are many reasons why such things happen: coincidence, someone google the topic from the same router IP address, ad tracking on Googled websites, etc etc
The idea that one of the worlds largest companies would risk their entire business by secretly recording their users for ad revenue is absurd on almost every level.
Yet some people on HackerNew, a forum that self-selects to a highly educated/intelligent part of the community actually believes it.
It's mind-boggling.
