Mozilla focusing on IA, advertising, changing ToS and removing mentions to "we don't sell your data" is like Google abandoning the "don't be evil" motto.
From a privacy-first web browser fighting for a more free and open internet to just another big tech throwing their roots in the trash bin.
They were changing Firefox here and there to be more Chrome-like, and now they are changing themselves to mirror Google.
So sad, so sad.
If you're looking for alternatives:
- LibreWolf
- Fennec
- Waterfox
- Zen Browser
- Palemoon
Instead of using a Chromium-based browser, I'd suggest to keep using something based on Mozilla code.
Keep using and supporting independent developers working on Firefox forks, so we don't get even more trapped with Google code and decisions (Manifest v3, remember?).
@cadusilva Thank you! My question is, are these forks not affected by the change?
@OddDev I'd say 'no' because I saw that these new terms apply only to binaries coming from Mozilla itself.
So if you, for example, are using builds from Debian or LibreWolf, these ToS changes don't apply.
