Mozilla usually sends a ping to your browser and that’s how they know you are using firefox and that’s how Mozilla counts the reducing number of users who are using FF, so I was wondering if this survey includes forks of FF.
PS: If you turn off telemetry completely, you won’t be counted in surveys, most Mozilla forks are more private by default than FF itself. So, I was wondering if more people were using forks and abandoning FF for privacy reasons. Thus reducing the count. That makes sense?
They count profiles. If you use sync you will still be counted.
sync is broke af so I am pretty sure you won’t be counted. I installed waterfox and I liked it but it sure didn’t allow me to login
But that is just profiles, whatever they count will not affect you.
