Everyone's here complaining about the randomised questions when I'm just curious why location options are "Germany", " Brazil", "USA", or " Somewhere we don't care about".

Those are simply the most significant Firefox user bases.

Privacy law considerations. Germany is downright good for its citizens. The US has a round about spying industry. Brazil basically has mandatory mass surveilance. Everyone else's laws are more or less the same. Not identical. But Mozilla can meet their requirements pretty trivially

Everyone else's laws are more or less the same.

The EU and UK have almost identical privacy laws - the GDPR, so Germany having exceptional privacy laws doesn't hold up. As far as other privacy laws go I think France has a lead on Germany with approximately the same population, so privacy law can't be the main consideration.

Constituent states within the EU can have more laws on top of the EU's laws. Maybe things have changed since the last time I had to implement code to respect these laws, but as of two years ago Germany and Sweden were the two countries where we had to make the most considerations with Germany being VERY strong
