If we require UI as per #1 this might open the door to exposing more qualitative data. Does that seem reasonable, desirable?

If there was affirmative opt-in UI, to ensure users were actively and intentionally sending the data, that seems both reasonable and desirable to me

What kind of qualitative data are you thinking of? I guess it would be a tradeoff between reliable metrics vs data that helps debug the crash, but I don't know what qualitative data would be helpful for debugging crashes, can you elaborate? C++ stacks?

This is an example of the kind of crash reports Firefox gets: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/27791016-fd8a-43a0-a8a6-095a30200421. Process isolation might have to be further along to offer this though, not sure.

We (at facebook) would have limited use for those informations. We don't need to know all those hardware characteristics, and the only reason why we would want a stack trace would be if we work with the browser vendors to fix an issue. But in that case, I guess we would already have access to that information via their native crash reporter.

We are more interested in informations such as: is this URL causing out of memory crashes in the real world? If so, for which percentage of users, and with which browser?
