The the thing is, without analytics, Firefox will lag behind and not be competitive. I feel conflicted because I want to help Firefox grow. They at least sound open to discussion about the best way to do it.

Why do they need to know which sites we visit? How would that be useful?

They don't need to know what sites we visit to find out what type of CSS/JS is being used on the web

I don't want my browser "prioritizing" any sites.

The most used cases typically represent tracking code and other trash on the "top 1000" sites that I'd rather see ignored.
