 Replying to [comment:3 micahlee]:
 > arma, you're talking about these graphs? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-
 US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/statistics/?last=30

 I think the graphs I was talking about looked different. They let you
 investigate number of users at any given hour by country, number of
 downloads like that, etc. Basically they made it clear that Mozilla had
 the whole data set, not aggregated or anonymized, on their backend and
 they were experimenting with how to help the rest of the world see it too.

 There was a phone call long ago between me, Cindy, and somebody Cindy knew
 at Mozilla, where I accidentally yelled at the Mozilla person for having
 such poor and dangerous privacy practices, and then quite reasonably they
 decided that talking to me further was no fun so they stopped. :/ We all
 have too many fights to fight these days.

 > We certainly don't need to move HTTPS Everywhere to AMO, and I think if
 Tor folks still have strong concerns that's a good reason to re-evaluate
 the decision. I do think that the benefits will be large. And while I wish
 the usage statistics didn't contain as much detail, I will like knowing
 how many users we have without have to grep our server logs.

 Well, so long as the Tor Browser Bundle prevents Tor users from
 contributing so much to this enormous data store that Mozilla maintains,
 you probably aren't screwing the non-TBB users much more than they're
 already screwed. I think ditching a.m.o for a single extension is mostly a
 symbolic act at this point, since most of their users are entangled so
 deeply in it. So, if you think it's a worthwhile tradeoff, don't let me
 slow down progress. :)
