Reply to comment by [deleted] in Mozilla plans ground-up UI redesign for Thunderbird email client this July by Hrmbee

Why give two organizations access to your data though. Good opsec is lessening third parties that might have access. Clients on your local machine need another level of trust as well. You have to really, really trust Mozilla to do that.

If you use Firefox or Thunderbird you are trusting them with your data and your machine. Any client will get at minimum, telemetry.

Telemetry beyond the telemetry is always captured. At minimum this is system fingerprinting, location, usage, system info etc.

I mean, they already use Gmail so I don't think they care much about this sort of thing.

Local client has so much more capabilities for data collection and observing your machine though. Gmail is mostly browser, but Chrome already has your info, so why add another client... with local access.
