In TOS they can have our data entered in browser as royalty free data. Now, what? I know we can use Librewolf but if Mozzila goes full evil. Then what choice we have. Can we make Mozzila reverse this changes? Remind them to be not evil? Both Proton and Firefox are core part of my privacy focus life. I swear to God I hate capitalism they all are just doing this for money.

Someone explain why this is so bad like people make it out to be? I've seen many posts of people panicking. I just wonder if the panick is justified.

Based on that wording they can take any data you enter on a website and use it.

This means that...

...forum posts...
...personal details...
...banking information...
...pictures...
...passwords...

...can be collected and used.

This is an EXTREMELY broad blanket policy, and is an absolute insult to their previous work with privacy.

Yes that does seem very unwanted. Thanks for explaining.
