Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic

Some users were not convinced by Mozilla's statements about needing a license to use data to provide basic functionality. "That's a load of crap and you know it. 'Basic functionality' is to download and render webpages"

Exactly.

Hey @mozillaofficial @Mozilla

Please read carefully.

Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic

Mozilla says it deleted promise because "sale of data" is defined broadly.

So, @mozillaofficial @Mozilla , this is the reason why most of us are already looking for an alternative. Let that get through to you! Many of us came to Firefox after being abused by Chrome, Edge and Safari. We WILL NOT hesitate to drop you like a brick.

@HeyLaiverd @Khrys @mozillaofficial @Mozilla What alternative, though? More chromium browsers? If we're talking about Firefox forks, they're still reliant on Mozilla's development. If Mozilla's goes under, even these ones will go down along with Firefox.
