Mozilla to collect web data?

Posted in Webanalytics by Tim Ceuppens on 13th May, 2008

It seems that Mozilla is planning to collect data that would certainly give Alexa a run for their money. Users of Mozilla browsers like Firefox could opt-in to share some of their surfing habbits with Mozilla.

The project is still in a planning stage and is currently known only as “Data”. Even though the information will be skewed - show me public data that isn’t - it should be more reliable than the data that’s currently available.

JayAre: no, Firefox is not and will not be watching you unless you choose to let it (with anonymity) — see “opt-in” above in Tim’s post.
