You people are going ahead with this idiotic plan - because that is what Mozilla does, asks for feedback and then proceeds to ignore feedback - and you will lose another 2% market share.
The reason is painfully obvious: You betrayed one of the core principles of Firefox, which is privacy. You pissed off a lot of people which will NEVER come back because you stabbed them in the face and spat in the wound.
You also gave Microsoft and Google a freebie. Now they have something else to throw back at you: your supposed "more private" Firefox phones home with your users' browsing history (not strictly true, but people don't dig that deep into the minutiae).
Hows that stopping them from winning by default? You basically just disqualified yourself...
Make this thing optional, otherwise you are dead meat. If you can't "win" without betraying your principles, it's time to either throw down the towel and give up or just be upfront and admit that you are going to go all in, users be damned.
That last option would actually probably gain you a few users.
