Firefox now has Terms of Use! This'll go over like a lead balloon

Yay, π
IYKYK

God dammit, and just as Google starts enforcing manifest 3.
Maybe it's time to stop doing this internet thing altogether. It had a pretty nice run but right now it's just a propaganda and compliance tool... -
From my understanding, they're pushing this shit on March 14th.

So what’s the next best thing to use, preferably one that supports uBlock?

US companies are not longer trustworth

That website actually promotes Firefox, you know. Not sure it fits this thread.
-
They've released an update, and I'm just generally confused:
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/firefox-terms-of-use/I fully believe that they didn't intend for it to sound so... all encompassing, but this update makes me even more confused. What data is "uploaded" to firefox? I just thought Firefox was the browser, not some website. Do they mean the services Mozilla offers?
-
There is only firefox, chrome, or safari to chose from. I just use a firefox fork.
-
We’ve seen a little confusion about the language
Tastes like "I'm sorry you feel that way"
-
I’m really glad this exists! Thanks!

Capital is the problem, not nationality.
-
Also Vivaldi is Chromium, and Mullvad is Tor, which is Firefox.
-
I'm glad I use a fork, even if it much more unstable. Kind of want servo to become stable and someone to make a browser based on that.
-
I don't know, could you explain please

I use Vivaldi (EU), it has an inbuild adblocker. In chromium browsers Mv3 means that Mv2 Extensions are eliminated from the Chrome Store in June this Year. Mv3 adblockers are still there, there is uBO light (same as uBO, but without element picker) and Adblock Plus, which is pretty equivalent to uBO. The inbuild ad/trackerblocker (customizable with own filterlists or those from uBO, DDG, AdBlock plus and others) in Vivaldi isn't affected by Mv3 and pretty effective (>99% in the test). In extensions other than those related to security and privacy, it's irrelevant for the user if they are Mv2 or Mv3 and mostly redundant in Vivaldi.
If you prefer Gecko browsers, the only one from the EU is the Mullvad Browser (Sweden), which can still use uBO, but also Gecko Browser will not support Mv2 all eternity because the related different cookie management used by most webpages with Google APIs, also apart from the will of the devs to continue developing MV2 for a minority engine, such as Gecko (~ 4% Market Share).

And Firefox is no longer my browser. Tada.
-
Librewolf it comes with uBlock installed.
-
This seems like a great time to install LibreWolf.
-
This doesn't make any sense to me either. Why do they need a license for what you type into Firefox if that data never gets shared with Mozilla?
I don't know a single application that you need to give a license to so they can handle your data locally.
-
do you mean you use a more privacy oriented fork like Librewolf, or instead some chrome/chromium derivative or fork?
