> Mozilla is violating user privacy.

They have changed literally nothing except the FAQ. The "selling" is describing behaviour they already do and have been doing for years. They set the default search engine to Google, this is now considered selling user data.

> There are already multiple forks for Firefox and destroying Mozilla as an organization would greatly help one or more of them take off and carry the banner of true enabling privacy for the user, which Mozilla is not doing.

You do realize that if Mozilla dies then every single one of these forks dies with it? Surely?

None of the teams working on these forks actually do any core browser engine work. Without Mozilla you are an ECMAScript update or a new web standard away from your fork of choice becoming a brick.




I have yet to see where Mozilla confirmed that is the only thing they are doing with data. The ToS gives them more power than that. They could limit that by updating the ToS. But they are not doing that.
