For the rest I trust the benchmarks which is based on math, if it says that Chromium is so much faster, the it is so much faster.

How's that for the red-headed stepchild?

Also they should try to reduce the performance gap between Firefox and Chromium.

There is no such thing as user tracking in Firefox. Firefox telemetry is anonymized and contains no data that can be used to track users. It's designed in a way that we're unable to correlate the telemetry coming from two installations of Firefox even if they're running on the same machine and they're both logged into the same Firefox account.

Unlike many Firefox fans, I actually took time to read Mozilla's TOS and buried there, they state they can collect and reserve the right to "share" user information with third parties, on several of the Mozilla's service offerings.

That being said I just checked the TOS and there's nothing mentioning sharing user data with third parties. Can you link to the paragraph you mentioned?Our Privacy Notices describe the data our products and services receive, share, and use, as well as choices available to you.
When do we share your information with others?
When we have asked and received your permission to share it.
For processing or providing products and services to you, but only if those entities receiving your information are contractually obligated to handle the data in ways that are approved by Mozilla.
You can interpret this any way you want. But to me, in MY opinion, this is just lawyer talk to say they do the same as any other tech giant do. Oh, so they ask my permission first? Well, this is what any other corporation do when you click "Ok" to use a app or accepting "just cookies" on a website.
PS: I'm not trashing Mozilla here. I'm a long time Firefox and Thunderbird user. I just do not put them on a pedestal of rightfulness, I just want that people be fully aware of what Mozilla do concerning user privacy.
