Re: Introducing a terms of use and updated privacy notice for Firefox
#302I am, unfortunately, looking at alternative browsers because of this. Firefox was the best fit. Big enough that they could reasonably keep up but not one of the corporate browsers that I have 0 trust in. It wasn't perfect but it was better than chrome for sure. Browsers are like cars now. It is becoming impossible to buy a new(er) car and have your privacy respected, but it is unreasonable to expect any normal life (…
LibreWolf? It's Firefox without the Mozilla branding
Re: Introducing a terms of use and updated privacy notice for Firefox
#303I'm shocked when in 2025 the term "you stay in control" regarding browser emerges as something exclusive.
When a web page or a program is downloaded to my computer I cannot imagine anything else, yet every major company tries to do something opposed - take the control from me as soon as possible.

#304> When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.
The fact that this surprises me must be an indicator that Mozilla still had a good reputation with me. No longer. Starting the search for an alternative browser now.

#305Is there another browser that can do "container tabs" really the only thing that's keeping on Firefox now

#306I see this thread pop up about once every 3 months for a different service. Its always the same license term that spooks people.

#307This made me look into Firefox forks/alternatives: Librewolf [1] seems to be fairly active (last commit on Codeberg was last week) and up-to-date with the latest upstream releases (mirrors FF's versioning scheme and matches their latest). Has a nice focus on privacy and no-telemetry. Floorp [2] also looks active (last commit last week), also claims focus on privacy. Based off FF's extended support releases so it may…
you should add zen browser[1] too, i tried some from your list, librewolf breaks some websites (online banking doesn't work) floorp is a good one, but in my experience zen is better.

#308Earlier quoted context omitted.
My conspiracy theory is that gears are slowly turning to revamp the culture, redefine what’s acceptable/not acceptable and eventually suggest that if you won’t have kids you’re not accepted in the society. Basically a funky way to reverse the population decline, as the governments are realizing this problem won’t be fixed by free markets and etc.
It seems like not so much a conspiracy theory as something totally transparent and out in the open. There's a huge political push to birth as many babies as possible. Major political parties have it as part of their platform. Their spokespeople talk derisively of "childless cat ladies" and how you're not a real contributor to society unless you produce babies. The "Birth" lobby is a stool composed of several legs: 1.…
I don't think they can succeed though, because the 5. is the crucial step, as being a baby-making machine is a full-time job, and no lobby is going to get a lot of following from the business with the premise to cut the available workforce by half.

#309To the people that forced their friends and family to switch to Firefox be sure to schedule the tech support visit.

LibreWolf? It's Firefox without the Mozilla branding
I've been using LibreWolf as my daily driver for a couple of years. Highly recommended!
Available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Ranked as the highest for privacy protection in a 2022 study: https://www.ghacks.net/2022/06/15/privacytests-reveals-how-y...
Occasionally, you might get a broken website but to fix it you just click on the shield icon and lower the privacy settings.
