Not at all. All of that can be disabled. The code is all yours.

If you mean in about:config 1: they change it and add hidden options all the time (you have to browse the code to find them) and 2: this is about the first run, all of that data will be sent before you have the chance to open about:config.

So is the Chromium code.
Regardless, considering Mozilla's trademark policy it can't technically be disabled in firefox.

Firefox contains proprietary components too (such as EME) that you can't modify. The code is all yours in Chrome as much as it is for firefox.
I personally do not buy that argument, it is like saying that firefox has an integrated emacs in it because "the code is all yours".
> So is the Chromium code.
Seeing as your original comment said Chrome, that's what I'm contrasting it with.
