Oh but don't worry, the good men and women at mozilla say it is
"anonymous" data collection so it is OK and you're just a paranoid
weirdo for criticizing mozilla.

"Cliqz uses several techniques to attempt to remove sensitive
information from this browsing data before it is sent from Firefox.
Cliqz does not build browsing profiles for individual users and discards
the user’s IP address once the data is collected."

I can't believe this crap, they're even worse than microsoft now - at
least you know where MS stands.
