Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

Didn't they spin off or something from mozzilla recently?

I thought I saw a news article mentioning some sort of shake up or something like that with Thunderbird along with their refresh

So i was wrong about the timing, it was back in 2012 https://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2012/07/06/thunderbird-stability-and-community-innovation/

I think I learned this when they announced the new icon and such recently so I conflated them.

I've been looking for a good alternative as a precaution. Evolution Email seems the next most popular but it keeps logging me out of my accounts every few hours. I might try Betterbird or Claws Mail.

For Android I'm using FairEmail as mozilla bought k9 Mail.
