Yes. I feel similarly. But it seems to be the lesser
of the evils. They keep adding crap like geo-location
and push, and we just have to keep track of it.

I guess I think of it kind of like.... FF is a flakey but
well meaning friend who often shows up trying to
sell me some new junk. But my Microsoft friend is
usually drunk and probably has venereal diseases.
And nothing we do together ever works out. So I don't
like to do much with that one. While my Google friend
is no friend at all. Just a sleazeball trying to record my
activities to sell to someone else, or trying to get
me to buy into some product he's getting a cut of.
And my Apple friend.... that one can't even seem to
find my house. If it did I'm sure it would be expensive
or spyware or both. So in context, FF seems like
a nice guy.
