Apparently no one remembers when Firefox changed their terms of service literally this year to become adversarial toward their own users. Librewolf is the way to go now.
The binaries aren't signed… :’( Also, it seems quite vague to me exactly who/what company/entity is behind it.
It seems waterfox (?) has a legal entity behind it for your exact reason!
Just curious.

Errrr.... https://winaero.com/mozilla-has-removed-the-do-not-sell-user...
Did you look at the FAQ page they created afterwards? 'do not sell user data' is too broad legally. It's a challenge in some jurisdictions. So they removed that. But it's not because they sell the data. They do have partnerships (like they did Pocket for example). In this case, they have anonymous stats that they share with others and that, in some jurisdictions, could fall under 'selling user data'

No thanks. Their own devs have gladly called the project "very woke", and a "certainly quite political project".
These days the term "woke" has lost almost all meaning. It used to mean being "awake" i.e. aware of socio-economic factors in society. Today, as far as I can tell, it simply refers to whatever the big corporations/alt-right doesn't like. Just like how they refer to anything left of oligarchy as "communism". To me them calling themselves "very woke" reads as "we are against anti-human behavior", which is a good thing.
To the left of oligarchy? I thought it was anything to the left of getting hit repeatedly in the head with a hammer that they labelled as communism? There must have been a massive leftward shift in society since I last checked the news!
HN was so hyped when chrome came out. Pushing it hard. A few people were saying, um guys, chrome is made by a company that sells ads, this is not going to work out well.
But of course today there is little reason to not use Firefox.

I never had firefox pop up and tell me to attend a drag show or that I need to surf more diverse websites than my usual sports and news sites. how is it woke? I don't care what mozilla the org does. They jsut took a big revenue hit because of the decision against google, they won't have much money for any political endeavors other than maybe privacy and free speech on the web very soon
Regardless of one's political applications, I do agree who you are elsewhere shouldn't matter unless you actually start spewing that in an inappropriate context.
