This isn’t really a governance issue although governance does get improperly used for complaints like this often.
Yes this is a privacy and ethical issue and it appears to go against the Mozilla manifesto and it’s unlikely Chrome Team would ever make such a mistake. It was disappointing to see Jascha Kayla’s-Wolff’s response to the media it was tone deaf and unapologetic. That said this is still not the appropriate place to get any resolution instead it would be more effective to open a bug with legal team to discuss those privacy and user choice implications.
