Exhibit A: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/02/firefox-deletes-promise-to-never-sell-personal-data-asks-users-not-to-panic/
Exhibit B: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/terms/firefox/
I don't agree to this as written; and I am not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt given Exhibit A. I think an argument could be made that selling my data to advertisers would help me "experience" and "interact" with online content. Perhaps it would be a difficult argument, perhaps not. I think skepticism is warranted.
Firefox has struggled to find a profitable business model outside of Google paying to be the default search engine, and it looks like these changes are a pivot to address this. I don't think it will be good for users.
Well I do agree to it as written lol. I didn't realize this was a matter of opinion.
