How are both Firefox and Chrome “High” for spying, when Firefox basically only sends diagnostic telemetry by default.

Half of this site is bitching about browsers checking for updates to the browser, addons, and block lists. How is it supposed to function if it doesn’t do that?

First, we have it connecting to Mozilla’s location services, who then obviously learn your location.

Why ‘obviously’? How is connecting to that URL any different from another URL? A webserver gets your IP and rough location either way.
