I think it's incredibly important that people know, with absolute certainty, whether or not the new Mozilla/Firefox privacy policy in any way applies to / covers such a service.

I'm not saying I know the answer- What I'm saying without a concrete, permanently applied answer it's not even considerable.

There is no email service that exists without a terms of use and privacy policy. I still feel everyone overreacted about Firefox. It's funnier how many people said they switched to Brave because of it and all the super shady stuff Brave has done.

Being angry at the Mozilla foundation for those changes is understandable. Switching to Brave because of it is plain stupid.

I do think the brave devs or teams starting spreading the “switch to brave” as a growth hack. No right minded person would pick brave over ff. Maybe librewolf sure.

You can't know that with absolute certainty. Sorry, but if you're using someone elses server for your communications and they're not end to end encrypted, you should just assume that they can and do read your emails, and act accordingly.

Unless everyone you communicate with have agreed to use the same standard as you, no, it is not.

Do you so it over PGP? Or is it done with ZAE like with Proton?

What is it that you're concerned about? Assume that I have no idea what either the new or old Mozilla privacy policy is, please. I tend to assume that all such are a pack of lies and everything is spying on me.

That article says it better than I can in s short post. Firefox's terms of use/privacy policy went over like a lead balloon last month.
