In 2008. You know, the year the majority of Americans didn't approve of gay marriage? [1] The year Obama said that marriage is between a man and a woman? [2]

Applying modern sensibilities to history is stupid.

I am not particularly interested in what the majority of people thought at the time, especially not when the year you're citing is 2008, and not 1886.

> It's probably the kind of user that has telemetry off.

If less than 4% of users use uBO, which the kind of users you're referencing claim is the primary reason they use Firefox, I doubt many users disable telemetry either.

I believe some Linux distributions patch Firefox to change default settings including disabling telemetry. Probably not a big factor, but still something to think about.
