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.

How does it compare to librewolf?

Mullvad browser

  • automatic updates
  • follows upstream patches quickly
  • based on Tor browser bundle, includes arkenfox features

** This means the browser works really hard not to write any state to storage

** it tries to be very ephemeral

Librewolf:

  • manual updates
  • A bit slower to patch
  • based on upstream Firefox, but includes arkenfox features

Both are good choices.
