Soon the only private option left will be to curl the website, read the html and picture it in my head.
stallman was right
Are there any specifics about this? It all seems fairly theoretical to me. What do they [want to] do that contradicts "doesn't sell your personal data" within the context of the fluid definition of "sell"? Do they sell my personal data or don't they? What definitions of "sell" are relevant here?
It's all sounding a bit Bill Clinton to me: "it depends on your definition of 'is'."
One thing to keep in mind is thar mozilla is now an ad company and can use this data itself for whatever advertising it wants to sell, so they dont even need a third party they can just sell targeted ads directly to companies while not technically "sharing" the info they gather to anyone.
Basically, why sell the data to other people when you can profit from using it directly?
The ambiguity is the smoking gun.
Now that Mozilla's fucked. What's the next option that's not Chromium?
It do be a slippery slope though
Disable tor in tor browser.
Ladybird in a few years, forks of Firefox for now.
IceCat
That isn't ready for common use by most people until there they offer binaries for easy installation.
A different fork from firefox like librewolf
Librewolf is just some patches added on top of Firefox.
Which happen to remove all telemetry, ads, reporting, etc. You know, the reason we don't want to use vanilla Firefox.
Use Librewolf. Please don't use any damned Chromium-based trash.
I'll stop using Chromium-based trash once Firefox devs stop acting all holier than thou and implement WebUSB and WebSerial instead of some vague notion they are protecting me from myself by not implementing it.
