Firefox has a problem and Android phones are affected by it

It seems like Firefox has a rather serious problem with telemetry on Android devices. It has to do with the company's 'Glean' system.

Does fennec get around this?

    What’s the point of telemetry in Firefox if anyway the devs do whatever they want ignoring users requests?

      I mean, I think the point is to know whether it’s the loudest users or the majority of users.

      I do think there’s a serious problem of removing the human element though. Ticking off 20% of your users might not be a big problem … unless those 20% of your users are your biggest advocates. That’s where I think Mozilla at times loses the forest for the trees.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about this. Chances are you’ll replace your phone way sooner than any of this will come back to bite you. If it was bad enough to be a real problem, there would be much bigger sources talking about it.
