Mozilla's blog post of 14th May 2024 stated it has a "Privacy first" ethos towards telemetry, and then goes on to detail that their telemetry on user search queries will be on an opt-out basis. These two facts are diametric and cannot live together in the same concept.
I strongly feel that Mozilla must move to a strictly opt-in system, with informed consent, before they can achieve a "privacy first" approach. Alternatively, Mozilla must remove references that state that they place privacy first, since as it stands, data collection comes before user privacy.
