Fenix Use of Glean
Glean is the telemetry library that Fenix uses, which I think we don't want to add to the final apk.
There two ways to handle this
- Create a TBB project for glean and include it as a compile time dependency in android-components. Then we just don't include the aar in the final project, which disables the feature.
- Patch the Fenix project to not use glean
I'm not that keen on (1) since we have to pull in and configure rust. (2) also seems a bit of a pain because the android-components is going through heavy development would require redoing the patches each time.
I have pref for (2). Thoughts?
Remark from components/browser/engine-gecko-nightly/build.gradle
// We only compile against Glean. It's up to the app to add those dependencies
// if it wants to collect GeckoView telemetry through the Glean SDK.Project: https://github.com/mozilla/glean
