Even if this isn't entirely true, you know Google wouldn't pass up the opportunity to reduce Firefox market share to scare everyone back to Chrome.

So you're advocating that Google shouldn't broadcast that firefox is broadcasting your current location? Even though they do this for every other app available on Android, you're saying they shouldn't do this for firefox?

Why?

They want to scare people to stay on Chrome now that they discontinued support of uBlock (not that it was ever supported on Chrome for Android anyway)

So they do this for all apps. Every single app that is in the Android ecosystem. But in your mind they're specifically targeting firefox with this to make people "scared" huh?

Must be nice to live in denial.
