The green chicken flag strikes again. It may be a small thing, but i knew the logo change was the first step towards corpo bullshit.

"Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about “selling data“), and we don’t buy data about you. Since we strive for transparency, and the LEGAL definition of “sale of data“ is extremely broad in some places, we’ve had to step back from making the definitive statements you know and love. We still put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share with our partners (which we need to do to make Firefox commercially viable) is stripped of any identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP)."
I happily switched to Zen on my desktop a while ago. Time to find a new mobile browser.
Ohh look... CEO can fuck ur wife BC ToS says so right here 🤡
Guys, some of you here posted that you gonna switch to a fork. My question is: isn't still the same problem? It seems the problem here is Mozilla, and Mozilla is the creator of Firefox and Gecko. So you suggesting switching to a fork at the end has the same problem that is using Gecko. I don't think it is better than using a Chromium based browser. I mean you still using a Mozilla product. If you really want to avoid Mozilla you should be using Epiphany or wait for Ladybird. I am genuinely asking this because It is not clear enough for me.
It is better than using Chromium, largely because of engine diversity. Mozilla still has a massive say in web standards, and for that I'll continue using them until a better alternative comes out.
Epiphany kinda sucks, and Ladybird isn't a thing yet. So I'll stick with Firefox and its forks until a legitimate challenger appears.

Assuming this refers to a new feature, how are they going to implement it? If the browser e.g. phones home, people would be able to spot the change in the source code and just create a fork?

Mozilla and Firefox have been going downhill for quite some time now. I'm pretty surprised people are shocked by this.
Yeah, I'm in no way surprised by this, but still somehow deeply disappointed.
