#3I like this in theory, I don't have time to chase down every data broker to opt-out on my own. I'm just wondering how I can measure whether it's really effective or not.
Anyone have experience with this kind of thing?

Not sure I understand how this comment follows the announcement. What about it makes you lose trust in Mozilla?

#5I wanted to try this, but it seems to be restricted to only people in the USA. It is impossible to enter a location outside the USA in the sign-up form, and it's impossible to skip that form. Please, Mozilla, make it much clearer which countries are supported to avoid causing this frustration and to give people a reason to come back once other countries are supported.

> I lose trust in Mozilla
Why did you lose trust in Mozilla? What other browser would you recommend instead?

#7I’m a happy, long term Optery user (not affiliated) and they take care of 100% of this for you. https://www.optery.com
The Mozilla offering looks somewhat comparable, but I do wonder if they’re going to beat a company which has the sole focus of solving this problem.

#8> Privacy starts with a Mozilla Account
I like how the solution to the privacy issue is _yet another account_. I don't know why, but I find it highly amusing. I do get it, you need to share your details with them so they know which details to delete, but I still can't help but laugh.

The data brokers that show your info will be listed, so you can spot check them yourself to see if they still show you. Not perfect, but should give you some confidence that if it says your data has been removed, it actually has been removed.
(You can scan for brokers before upgrading to Plus for automatic opt-out, so you can also check beforehand that you can see your data.)

I always enjoy the vague yet threatening online comment. I'm of the opinion that this is from one of the better bot farms who have learned if you make people nervous, you can control their choices.
