Because it did not. Extensions page used them but nothing else.
You dont get it bro, its not a good vibe.
And if I had bean in management I would have fired anyone involved with that decision.
Why is it so often HN that I point something obvious out , like Rockstar having clearly failed management and a complete loss of control, but instead of agreement or silence I always get flak from some random user who just doesnt get it, and then a year later the company starts falling apart.
Im just a guy who recognises patterns and im not even smart.
So you knew that fierfox never came with google analytics but you decided to claim it anyway...
You download firefox. In firefox, you go to settings->Extensions to download extensions and get exposed to google analytics, is that correct? If that's true, how is it not insidious that in order to download the thing that blocks google analytics, you have to get exposed to google analytics?
Didn't reason much. But I think that you misread what I wrote.

Yes.

I never said anything in my post about what I think about mozzila using google analytics on their webpages.
All I said is that firefox never came with google analytics. Which is true. Extensions page just loaded a webpage which used google analytics. If that is enough to qualify firefox as coming with google analytics, well, you could always go to google.com meaning that firefox started coming with google analytics the day GA was created.
This site will start falling apart if we don't keep things civil.
Because many "obvious" things are just plausibly sounding bullshit. For example:
> Rockstar having clearly failed management and a complete loss of control
That's both very broad and generic, and completely unfalsifiable, and comes with nothing backing it up. It's just an unsubstantiated opinion. These things are fine when drinking in friends, or otherwise socializing by bonding over ramblings.
If you want to convince someone of something, the standards of evidence (not to mention, clarity of thinking) are a bit higher.
Ive laid that pigeon to rest, but I pointed out a few years ago that the fact they had a loading screen that took 10mins ( im exaggerating ) because of a shopping cart item look up problem, fixed by a random kid, was not a good look especially because they didnt reward him appropriately. It was a small but clear sign something was a miss.
Edit> the point was I raised concerns at the time to help Rockstar and was just insulted. Anyway if anyone at Rockstar got this far, Im sure youre got it all under control mostly and are doing great now keep it up.
I get wanting to be conspiratorial, but its not cool to go after others that challenge your conspiracy, even if its "obvious"
EDIT> Im sorry I shouldnt have made a comment about the firing on second thoughts
Oh, I love the bit where a programmer always proudly chimes in with this statement as if it means anything.
