They've released an update, and I'm just generally confused: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/firefox-terms-of-use/

I fully believe that they didn't intend for it to sound so... all encompassing, but this update makes me even more confused. What data is "uploaded" to firefox? I just thought Firefox was the browser, not some website. Do they mean the services Mozilla offers?

We’ve seen a little confusion about the language

Tastes like "I'm sorry you feel that way"

The privacy notice document lists how each data type is used. It includes in-browser ads on the new tab page, AI chatbots, and "to market our services".

I’m really glad this exists! Thanks for sharing it!

That website actually promotes Firefox, you know. Not sure it fits this thread.

So what’s the next best thing to use, preferably one that supports uBlock?

There is only firefox, chrome, or safari to chose from. I just use a firefox fork.

God dammit, and just as Google starts enforcing manifest 3. Maybe it's time to stop doing this internet thing altogether. It had a pretty nice run but right now it's just a propaganda and compliance tool...

From my understanding, they're pushing this shit on March 14th.

Also our next lunar eclipse, at least in the USA.
