@pixelcode@social.tchncs.dePlease do criticise #Mozilla – we need an independent, privacy-preserving, feature-rich web browser, not another tracking-infested piece of garbage software.

New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:
* Does Firefox sell your personal data?

The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.
