This is just which browser has the most connections after a fresh install. There are other concerns than just this alone.

The situation with Cliqz
If anyone has additional information to add, please let me know and I will fit it in.
The experiment Mozilla intends to launch
Mozilla intends to launch a small 'experiment' in Germany, where <1% of new installs for Firefox from Mozilla.org will receive the Cliqz test pilot experiment by default.
Mozilla has a long history with Cliqz, starting with its integration as a Social API provider back in 2013, up until they became a strategic investor in Cliqz in 2016 and later that year launched the test pilot mentioned above.
The strongest concern over this experiment is that users are automatically opted in to something called Human Web, which, while it may conjure up images of mutilation and giant arachnids, means an uncomfortable amount of information is gathered from these users, though it is anonymous.
Cliqz
Cliqz is open source, and privacy focused. Their primary function is as a "quick search engine", which adds suggestions (like any search engine) to the listing that pops out when you interact with the address bar. (They also have a content blocker and full-fledged Firefox fork.)
They have had a security audit performed several times in the last few years (though, notably, their most recent certification is expired by a few months) and have been found compliant.
According to their Privacy policy, the add-on processes your history and bookmarks locally in order to suggest them - since they replaced the URL fly-out I mentioned - but it never at any point transmits this data nor does it register clicks as it does on their suggestions. For the information they do collect (more on that in a sec), they immediately strip IP addresses from their logs (which are sent as a necessary part of how the internet functions), and never record any personal information on their users.
They never make any correlations between information they receive - they do not know if any two interactions are by the same person. Interactions do not have user IDs stored with them, they do not have IPs stored with them, and they do not have linkage to any other interactions. It would be impossible to de-anonymize this data.
In order to populate the suggestions, it, like suggestions from any traditional search engine, sends your keystrokes to their servers. If you click on one of their suggestions, it sends both the query typed as well as the result you clicked on in one packet - allowing them to index X search results in interaction Y - but if you click on one of your bookmarks, your history, or the suggestions by your supplementary search engine (DuckDuckGo, Google, etc), it does not send this interaction. This works essentially the same as any browsers suggestions, just that instead of routing you to their search page (where they all record your interaction - even duckduckgo), they record it and send you directly to the result.

Burda sells search technology with its core team to U.S. browser Brave
Hubert Burda Media has placed its search technology Cliqz (now Tailcat) and relevant development team in the U.S. company Brave Software. As a result, Hubert Burda Media will receive a stake in – and become a partner to – Brave Inc. Like Cliqz, Brave exemplifies the vision of an open Internet, in which users retain full control of their personal data and are not subject to monitoring. Brave has developed the required technology for browsing, Cliqz for searching. The two technologies are now being integrated.
