The other day, I made a post about Firefox’s web extensions, specifically for YouTube. A lot of people pointed out Mozilla’s recent TOS update, which pertains to selling personal data. I noticed there were no suggestions, though. What alternative would you suggest, Lemmy?

    I refer you to the changes to Firefox’s ToS, restricting downloads of explicit non illegal content, as well as removing the guarantee of data privacy and no data selling.

    I don’t know what the AI stuff is about, but there’s enough here to conclude Firefox will not have the users best interest in mind moving forward and ultimately eliminated their selling point.

    The things they did are shady enough.

      I’m going to have to read about the download restriction thing. Thanks for pointing that out.

      I feel like Mozilla addressed the data sharing thing but I can see how a later clarification might feel disingenuous or that trust was already lost.

      I guess I’m still partial to it and find Mozilla relatively much less shady than Google, M$ and Apple. Maybe my bar is set too low and I should be trying less popular browsers to see how I get on with them.
