What's with all the hatred that Firefox has been getting lately? (lemmygrad.ml)

Look at this chud video here.

It's just complaining about DEI, but why now? Apparently, Firefox has a "license" to all your data now. How much is that true? Is he just cherry-picking here, in this case? Librewolf or whatever it's called might be a better option. There's also Zen browser.

I got this in my YouTube feed and didn't know it was more anti-DEI slop and now I'm not sure what to believe. Wish they didn't have to make it so political like they accuse others of doing. Ah well. But what is this I hear about Firefox having a "license" to all your data?

I guess that's like a lot of browsers, tbh, but I suppose Firefox has higher standards, or did...

Mozilla updated their terms of service to include very concerning language that made it seem like they were taking ownership of any data that you input into their browser for whatever purpose they choose, now and into perpetuity. This caused panic for reasons that should be obvious in the age of enshitification.

They have since amended the terms to clarify that they only take ownership of it for the explicit purposes they lay out in the privacy policy… which is slightly less concerning but at least not a total mystery.

I didn’t watch the video because your description is enough to want it off my feed, but I of course accept that there are going to be bigot assholes making it about something it totally isn’t, because that seems to be the status quo now.

Yeah, I don't know how I got that video on my feed...
