   Any request a browser initiates without the (explicit or implied) consent of the user is a privacy breach.

   If your definition of privacy rejects that axiom, then it needs updating.

     I don't care if the data is proxied, I don't care if it is aggregated and/or "anonymized" - the packets should never have been in a position to be collected in the first place.

     You skipped a step in the ethics. The first step is to ask, and then respect the answer.

     Every network request is intrinsically packed with information, only a fraction of that information is encapsulated within the packets themselves.

     People should be in control of what, when, and how those packets leave their system.

     The trend of organizations that "protect your privacy" while rolling out initiatives that ignore this principle is deeply troubling.
