Since I've been mostly using #LibreWolf and Tor Browser @torproject anyway, and almost never plain #Firefox, it wasn't a big deal to say goodbye and to delete Firefox from all devices (mastodon.de)

Since I've been mostly using #LibreWolf @librewolf and Tor Browser @torproject anyway, and almost never plain #Firefox, it wasn't a big deal to say goodbye and to delete Firefox from all devices today.

The new "Terms of Use" and the modified privacy notice have crossed a red line, I do no longer give Mozilla the benefit of doubt.

Brief and good summary of Mozilla's changes by @sarahjamielewis:

TBH I have no idea why somebody would so persistently and patiently work on discrediting and sinking their own flagship.

Could just install a password manager. Bitwarden or Keepass+ syncthing

That's good for passwords, but it's also the syncing of tabs and search history and stuff. When I'm working on my laptop I want to be able to easily find the random journal article I had open on my desktop.

I appreciate the convenience of cloud history is at odds with privacy. But being able to selfhost a syncing server, or to keep a private log on a cloud storage space that only my devices had access to should be possible... But it's probably not a priority for many folks.
