News has reached me that mozilla wants to "aid us" by monitoring our preferences and visiting sites to deliver specific contents. If that happens, I go look for an alternative browser. Maybe not that good, but saved from the ad-industry.

Hello,

Where did this news reach you from? I don't work for Mozilla (I am a support volunteer) but I think that this story sounds extremely unlikely.

Mozilla have always been a champion of privacy and are currently involved in various pro privacy initiatives including Do Not Track and the potential banning of 3rd Party Cookies in Firefox.

It would be very inconsistent if they were planning to begin tracking users' browsing history.

This is the link they used:

I have not yet read it, but is sounds not good.

Implementing any feature to selectively share and not share your "interests" in an accurate and usable form while giving you control over your list and not leaking anything very personal is likely to be very complicated.

Arguably, though, it is logical for the user to take control of her or his behavioral usage data. Why should Google and Facebook own and control that data -- which they collect throughout the web using their broadly distributed tentacles -- and decide how it is used? Hmmm...
