I *gather* (without much attribution/citation wise) that it'll be
pseudo-client-side, with lists of topics being downloaded from Mozilla,
and click-data being (poorly) obfuscated in return as "user clicked
*some link in this set*".
Not impressed, at all. This is a pattern, though;
1. Organisation wins favour by appealing to technically competent people
who recommend organisation's product to less technically competent
friends and family.
2. Organisation's user-base grows and organisation refocuses on a
generally-applicable brand. Hackers still happy because decline takes time.
3. Organisation starts ignoring early-adopters and hacker-advocates who
made it popular to begin with. Hackers ditch it.
4. Organisation coasts along on existing lay-customer-base for ages.
5. Organisation is replaced by an upstart that probably wins favour
through early adopters and hacker-advocates.
People don't listen to geeks on the "important" stuff, like "Don't post
your credit card selfie to twitter", but when they want a recommendation
for a good web browser, chat client, or model of phone, they do. And
companies forget this the moment they've crested that wave.

Not holding my breath, though...
