Does anyone here not opt out of the telemetry data that Firefox collects by default? (lemm.ee)

I am just curious because I had it off for a long time but have recently started to opt back in because I am too lazy to report every single bug I encounter when browsing the web but I do want to see Mozilla improve Firefox.

Yup, I would probably opt-in if that was how it was presented, but since it's opt-out, I go out of my way to opt-out. Privacy should be the default.

That's where I am too. I'm usually quite willing to allow telemetry for an important project, but having to turn it off if I want it off just makes me not trust it. So I turn it off
