Since I've been mostly using #LibreWolf and Tor Browser @torproject anyway, and almost never plain #Firefox, it wasn't a big deal to say goodbye and to delete Firefox from all devices (mastodon.de)

Since I've been mostly using #LibreWolf @librewolf and Tor Browser @torproject anyway, and almost never plain #Firefox, it wasn't a big deal to say goodbye and to delete Firefox from all devices today.

The new "Terms of Use" and the modified privacy notice have crossed a red line, I do no longer give Mozilla the benefit of doubt.

TBH I have no idea why somebody would so persistently and patiently work on discrediting and sinking their own flagship.

I'd use LibreWolf or Waterfox if they had support for all platforms. LibreWolf is only on Windows, Waterfox is on Windows and Android, Ubuntu has none of them and I can't be bothered dicking around to get them installed. Also I need sync between devices for bookmarks.

I guess I'm forced to use Firefox and just use about:config and turn off everything that I find under "telemetry"...

You should be able to add the LibreWolf repository on Ubuntu, if they don't have an Ubuntu one the Debian one should work. It's how I got it on a Fedora based distro (using the Fedora repo).
