Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

    I am so fucking tired of PR speak. This is removed now so that they can sell your data later. That and the ToS change is the canary in the coalmine.

    “We akchually don’t sell your data because it isn’t the legal definition everywhere”. Fuck you

      Interesting, did you go check the merge request? Because I quote:

      We believe the internet is for people, not profit. Unlike other companies, we don’t sell access to your data. You’re in control over who sees your search and browsing history.

      Yes, that’s from post-change.

        Have you looked through the proposed PR linked in this post?

        It doesn’t matter that Mozilla has backtracked after the backlash. It matters that they’ve shown us where they want to go, and its not good. They will try to push the change again until it works.

            Then you are obtuse on purpose because the PR removed the part where they explicitly say they won’t sell your data.
