Only as an experimental feature, I think. I think it graduates from Firefox Labs this release.

For just the "finding GPS tracks for biking trips" part, https://cycle.travel/ is pretty neat.

als je lid bent/zou moeten worden van een partij, wat is dan jullie belangrijkste overweging

Dat partijen subsidie krijgen op basis van hun ledenaantal, dus doe het! Je kunt zelfs lid worden van meerdere partijen, hoewel soms de partijen zelf statuten hebben die dat verbieden.

Qua welke partij, is de belangrijkste overweging daarbij of ik het in het algemeen met de visie van de leden van die partij eens ben - zelfde overweging als bij verkiezingen, dus.

Yes, but we're talking legalese here, not common sense, so I don't want to make any assumptions 😅

Yeah I meant the latter - you visit the Amazon website, and then your IP address is shared with them. I have no idea how broad these legal clauses are, and it could be that there's a need to (legally) guard against even that.

Could it be e.g. the sponsored tiles on the new tab? If you click those, the sponsor inevitably gets your IP address and thus your approximate location, and Mozilla gets paid.

The ToS hasn't gone into effect yet, so it would be postponing rather than rolling back. One thing that hasn't been answered yet, though, is why this change is needed now - possibly, there's a legal reason why postponing isn't an option?

Firefox already has ads. (Though you can turn them off.) As does its default search engine.

[–] Vincent 18 points 4 months ago

Yeah, specifics would be great. "Someone clicked this ad", or potentially even "someone in Germany clicked this ad" is a big difference from "a 20-year old man who likes blahaj in Hamburg has opened a new tab".

I feel like it would've been really helpful if it had provided an example of something that legally counts as "selling your data", but that any sane person would not define as such.

It's suspicious, because you think those tomatoes have dairy or meat in them?
