Critics said the new terms implied Mozilla was asking users for the rights to whatever data they input or upload through Firefox.
Mozilla, please. The wording of things in the terms of use document is not the main problem. The exact legal interpretations given to them does not make much difference. That you suddenly feel the need to impose on your remaining users a “terms of use” agreement at the same time as you stop promising not to sell user data is not conducive to retaining your credibility.
Ah, the “confusion” excuse. A classic. Or maybe they meant what they wrote, maybe that.
They did mean what they wrote, but what they wrote didn’t mean what you and the people who decided to get Big Mad about this thought it meant.
Those terms are unenforceably vague. It’s not even close. Mozilla needs to pay an actual lawyer to write a policy for them.
So now users have to be on the lookout for more cringey Mozilla activity. That’s not what trust is.
Too late, so sad. I already uninstalled Firedung. Falkon is now my default browser. “Oh, honey, I didn’t fuck that wo(man)! And besides, s(he) wasn’t interested in me. Please take me back.”
Isn’t Falkon still Chromium based?
Yes, but mostly de-googled. There’s also a de-googled chromium out there.
Meh, already using ironwolf on my phone and librewolf on computers. Companies can’t be trusted anymore.
The new language seems equivalent to the old language.
