FYI Mozilla / Firefox shares user data with Google, Leanplum, and Adjust [1] by default except on Klar [2] [3]. Learn how to opt-out here [4]. Also doesn't hurt to search for "telemetry" in `about:config` (not available on Firefox iOS) and toggle the entries to `false`.

@andreas
Fennec, the open-source version of FF on F-droid does not track anything
@silmathoron @andreas It could really use not using Google as a default search engine, however.
I'll see if it's easy to push a patch.
@silmathoron @andreas I am still trying to find the repository link :D
@panos @andreas arf, just check the F-droid pageand it directly use the Fenix repo, there is no additional patching :'(
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/
They actually say it's still using tracking, though I don't know what they refer too...
@silmathoron @andreas So, it's basically just a build of Firefox but without the trademarks so that the binaries can be passed around...
