+ - Telemetry is essential: a browser engine is a _very_ large complex beast costing billions to maintain
+ - Opt-in telemetry _does not_ work and results in data that is unrepresentative and may be misleading
+ Choice
+ - Every new profile on first use provides data collection/use policy and the abillty to opt-out
