> Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about “selling data“), and we don’t buy data about you. Since we strive for transparency, and the LEGAL definition of “sale of data“ is extremely broad in some places, we’ve had to step back from making the definitive statements you know and love. We still put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share with our partners (which we need to do to make Firefox commercially viable) is stripped of any identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP).
Maybe we can all take a step back before jumping to conclusions so quickly.
This feels more like legal posturing than a malicious change.
Import of settings was confusing, but these restarts are a great way to prune bookmarks and never-used extensions. Other than this, operation has been smooth sailing.
GhostText just connected to the editor that Firefox and Safari were using. And ublock-origin was my first extension loaded.
