    Imagine reading the terms of service of Firefox, whatever slight change they might bring, and thinking “yeah, I’ll move to Chrome to protect myself, that’ll show them!”.

    What comes after stupidity?

    Apparently it only impacts officially compiled versions. Guess I’ll just stay away from those? I run librewolf anyway and that aside I’m on Linux where officially compiled versions aren’t even the norm. Chrome is definitely not my answer

    Sure, they’ll move to a browser that has even worse TOS, yeah.
