Can you at least try to not rip sentences like these completely out of their place? There's people here who won't bother to translate and you're abusing that to make Mozilla look bad. The sentences afterwards: "Cliqz uses different methods which should take care of removing sensitive information, before it's sent out from Firefox. Additionally, Cliqz does not create profiles of individual users and erases their IPs as soon as the data has been collected. The code of Cliqz is publicly accessible [open-source under MPLv2] [1] and a description of the used methods can be viewed here [in English, 2]."

In Testing Cliqz in Firefox
sharmi·Oct 7, 2017
TL;DR Cliqz provides recommendations such as news, weather news, or the world of sports, while typing into the address line. Next week, a little less than one percent of the German users who download Firefox from mozilla's central download page will receive a Firefox version with the Cliqz recommendations activated automatically. This includes the data capture tool that records the surfing activities those users, including the URLs of the pages they visit. The data are sent to the Cliqz servers. Cliqz promises to anonimize the data. The data gathering code is available online at [1] and a description methods of gathering at [2]. One can always use the Disable Data Recovery or completely remove the Cliqz add-on. [1] https://github.com/cliqz-oss/browser-core/blob/master/module...

In Testing Cliqz in Firefox
arkitaip·Oct 7, 2017
If I understand the Google translation correctly, Mozilla has invested in Germany based Cliqz, basically a privacy oriented fork of Firefox. Cliqz has a feature which displays contextual information in the address bar and apparently Mozilla is experimenting with this feature in Firefox. German users (less than 1% of them) who download Firefox will have the Cliqz addon activated and the addon will collect anonymized user data, such as which URLs have been visited. Cliqz's attempt to collect data while safe guarding user privacy is called Human Web [0] and the code is open source [1]. [0] https://gist.github.com/solso/423a1104a9e3c1e3b8d7c9ca14e885...
