God damn why's the world so shit
My understanding is this is due to regions broadening the definition of "sell" to include any form of personal data transfer. So Mozilla giving location info (with consent if you enable "ask every time" in the permissions) to websites to look up local store hours or whatever is "selling data."
AFAIK, nothing has changed in Firefox.

It really is. Literally everything is shit and I'm so fucking over it.
