Fakespot and Firefox are different products. They should stay that way.
It's fine that Fakespot needs to collect some data from users to do the thing it does, and probably necessary for it to monetize that data to have a sustainable funding model. I don't want it to sell a profile about me to advertising partners, so I don't use it.
Firefox can function as a web browser without transferring any information about me off my local machine except that which I explicitly tell it to send to specific websites.

You don't see the reason? I see the reason. I just don't like it.
I liked Mozilla better when it was a pure nonprofit narrowly focused on its core competency.
