When Mozilla announced their Terms of Use a few months ago, they told us that they would be asking us to acknowledge it at a later date. That day is here, and I took a quick look at it.

Could someone explain to me why there are so many negative comments about this, calling to switch to librewolf, ect.? Having to explicitly agree to TOS is a good thing. It was weird that it wasn't there previously and it doesn't change the fact that you were agreeing to them implicitly by using the browser in the first place.

They can put it there all the way for all of their sevices, but Firefox is not a service, it's a FOSS program. I don't have to agree to anything just by using it. By using Librewolf, you do exactly this.
