Reading through the changes, they don’t reassure me. If Mozilla isn’t intending to monetize, modify or exploit my data in any way, then why do they think that they need any kind of a license for it? A piece of software I use for it’s intended purpose, to send information from my computer to a server and back, doesn’t need to seek a license to use that information.
There is simply no reason why Mozilla needs a “non-exclusive, royalty free worldwide” license to my content unless they plan on using it for their own purposes.
Firefox, running locally and under my direction, does not require a license as it is not a legal entity. It is a product.
Any argument from Mozilla to change the TOU without also removing the language for a license to your data is made in bad faith.
It’s really that simple.
I’m quite upset about how even our open source spaces are getting enshittified :( (besides mozilla’s previous problems) Honestly, I might just go back to qutebrowser

Chromium? Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone’s use cases.

Also Mozilla: “You’re not ‘buying data’ as most people understand the term. You’re exchanging information for currency or other services.”
Mozilla: They’re not ready yet. Let it cook more.

Bullshit.
It’s been bad, but there are a few viable alternatives for all platforms.
The new language seems equivalent to the old language.
