Well, I don't foresee any downsides. Hopefully they can continue making an incredible browser and operating system respectively.

And if you had actually read the FakeSpot TOS:
Your contract with us includes these Terms of Use, along with any rules and policies posted on our website from time-to-time and our Fakespot Privacy Notice located at https://www.fakespot.com/privacy-notice
That's not the privacy policy.
The FakeSpot privacy policy is right here. No mention of anonymization when they sell data to ad brokers.
Regarding OHTTP: It's a CDN proxy with a pinkie promise. I trust their partnership with Firefox as much as I trust them with Google: not much.
With OHTTP, [Google] Safe Browsing does not see your IP address, and your Safe Browsing checks are mixed amongst those sent by other Chrome users,” Google affirms
The letters "anon" don't appear anywhere in the privacy policy.
So where are you pulling this claim from, because it doesn't smell right...
We are talking about Mozilla FakeSpot, not Mozilla PPA...
I know, there's so many privacy issues right now that it's hard to keep track.
"If the privacy invasion and corporate trend chasing doesn't hurt your soul"?
Did you miss the privacy invasion where Mozilla now sells private data to advertising companies directly?
FakeSpot is a hilarious company run by trend chasers, "crypto enthusiasts and web3 believers."
If Mozilla chasing the AI trend isn't bad enough, and their privacy policy doesn't hurt your soul, FakeSpot also only works on the biggest and most predatory platforms (Walmart and Amazon).
Mozilla Foundation has no members, it's operated by the for-profit Corporation, and the Corporation is powered by its profit motive.
I trust Mozilla to do what they promise with my private data
Having a look at your comment history myself, I see that you are very polite and willing to accept good-faith corrections, like the one I originally made...
So the fact you doubled down on your incorrect comment really says a lot.
A for-profit that wrapped itself in a non-profit shell that is empty and just run by the for-profit?
With all due respect, Mozilla is now (and, for a while, has been) an ad company. When an ad company tells you ads are necessary, you should not trust them. Plenty of lousy things have been entrenched as social norms, but it is the job of the entrenchers to justify their existence... Which Mozilla is definitely not doing here.
