    Anonym Private Audiences is currently in closed beta, supporting early-use cases where privacy matters most.

    Wow that really is private! So private we can’t even see what it’s up to.

    Differential “privacy,” based on what I’ve learned, seems to be a joke. The only thing it does effectively is hide the fact you’ve disabled it, if you choose to disable it. But if other people disable it, it becomes easier to identify you. The best move is to not participate, which should encourage other people to also not participate…

    And if you’re one of the unlucky few people still using it, its developers basically need to choose where on a sliding scale from “anonymous” to “useful” they want to start collecting your data. And there is every prerogative for them to push towards “useful” and away from “anonymous.”

    It operates separately, and is not integrated with, our flagship Firefox browser.

    Doubt…
