Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data - Reddthat

AI Summary: Overview: - Mozilla is updating its new Terms of Use for Firefox due to criticism over unclear language about user data. - Original terms seemed to give Mozilla broad ownership of user data, causing concern. - Updated terms emphasize limited scope of data interaction, stating Mozilla only needs rights necessary to operate Firefox. - Mozilla acknowledges confusion and aims to clarify their intent to make Firefox work without owning user content. - Company explains they don’t make blanket claims of “never selling data” due to evolving legal definitions and obligations. - Mozilla collects and shares some data with partners to keep Firefox commercially viable, but ensures data is anonymized or shared in aggregate.

Too late, I switched to Floorp.

Because of privacy stuff? No. Because of repeated drama? Yes.

I don’t have time for this stuff. I don’t have time to track every minute twist of the knife that Google’s funding drives Mozilla to embark on.

I’m bored of using software and watching it go through “death by a thousand minor dramas”

So now I use a web browser that has a name so stupid I don’t even recommend it to other people. Brilliant.

Floorp is a new Firefox based browser from Japan with excellent privacy & flexibility.
