It sounds like they plan on releasing the technical details in the coming days/weeks. I’m curious how its de-identified and processed.

    If you’re not willing to trust what they say about the anonymity of the telemetry system, or to opt out, then I think you wouldn’t be happy trusting them with all your passwords in the first place!

    If you’re willing to stick to Safari, then I think using Apple Keychain is best, especially since they’ll be adding sharing this year.

      Yeah this is what I don’t get. They already hold your most precious secrets and now you don’t trust them with a telemetry system?! Seems an odd order of concerns to me.

        Telemetry, even scrubbed, can provide enough meta data to de-anonomize the user. If the goal is to reduce your threat vectors, than it’s a valid concern.

        Given data breeches are increasing, the less data that is collected the better.
