#Mozilla has lost their ground and is now in a free fall into a sinkhole. I doubt they'll ever get out if this again unless they do a 180-turn within the coming days. Mozilla has lost a lot of trust and credibility over the last couple of years. This accelerates that distrust even more.
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/
It looks promising, until you hit the last paragraph (my highlight)
In order to make Firefox commercially viable, there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar. We set all of this out in our privacy notice. Whenever we share data with our partners, we put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share is stripped of potentially identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP).
In my book, that's indirectly selling data.
Goodbye, #Firefox.
Update (2026-02-26): So this change happened exactly 1 year ago. I saw the date and missed the year. And since Mozilla is still doing the privacy whitewashing, there is no reason to trust Mozilla more today than a year ago. Leaving Firefox is unavoidable. The current Mozilla leadership does not deserver much trust from the community.
@dazo First, please don't get me wrong: Like anyone else, I don't want my data to be sold, and at the very last by the browser I've been using as my daily driver for anything internet for years.
But the question I can't find a viable answer for is: How can Firefox become a sustainable organization?
Selling our data is a no-go, that's for sure. But how do they make the money required to not only maintain but also invest in Firefox?

Olimpiadi in divisa. Quando lo sport diventa un ingranaggio dello Stato
@anarchia
Ci raccontano che le Olimpiadi sono la festa dei popoli. Ci parlano di fratellanza, di pace, di merito, di sacrificio individuale. Ma dietro le bandiere sventolate e gli inni https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/olimpiadi-in-divisa-quando-lo-sport-diventa-un-ingranaggio-dello-stato/

@jimmac I am just gonna pop it into my storage unit for now. Call it nostalgia but I am not quite ready to let it go.

This is an amazing way for civilisations to leave behind heritage for any stragglers by making the password something incredibly hard to decipher with precision but incredibly virally meme-y.
This way only those with the lost cultural context would be the only ones to be able to open the heritage!
Never gonna give you up!
