When Mozilla and Google started developing extra invasive data collection software together, I had lost faith in Mozilla. They’re just google’s lapdog.
Not much unlike their “quantum engine” being developed based on chromium as well. Which was simply not documented later on

Mozilla has been downhill for the last few years, first the opt out processing of your search data, then all the AI integration of bullshit, now the weird changes to their terms of use…

And all they have to do is allow direct donations for its development and they’re golden

Uh huh.
Yes. That’s what “sale of data” means. Everybody understood that. That’s exactly what we don’t want you to do.

Read the last bits at the end of the article though:
Personally, this doesn’t compel me to stop using Firefox.

Yeah I really don’t know how they thought that was a good explanation for them to remove the “we won’t sell your data” stuff. Absolutely bonkers.

I assume they meant it as confusing when you use firefox to, for example, buy a product.
I may be wrong though.
