I’m coming to the conclusion that I should just try LibreWolf and see how I like that compared to Firefox.

Har du noe dypere grunnlag eller noe mer informasjon å komme med å jeg selv kan ta den avgjørelsen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

That’s exactly what I thought and granted so did a lot of people too.

Not the end of the world, but made me want to look at alternatives at least.

You’re right, I know nothing about IP law.

However, I came here to ask for information about using a chromium browser, not a discussion about Mozilla’s choice of words in a TOS.

I dunno how it affects forks, but considering Google’s TOS doesn’t seem to affect other Chromium projects that much. I doubt it’s a big of a deal for FF forks.

Hell, I’m 99% sure I’m overreacting about Mozilla’s working to begin with. It just made me want to explore alternatives.

Here’s the quote I’m talking about(it has since been changed)

When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.

Here’s the exact phrase they used before changing it after people got pissed about it:

When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.

The new choice of words is a a lot better. But it makes me want to at least explore alternatives.

I’ll look into that link later, thanks for sharing!

I’ll see if I can find back to the exact words I didn’t like. It’s been a few weeks at this point. It’s about data sharing. Not to mention the fact that American privacy laws aren’t as strict as what Vivaldi have to deal with here in Norway.

How much it _actually _ matters however. I don’t know.

Also, I’ve used Firefox for about 20 years, It would be nice to try something else, I guess.

Sounds like Librewolf is going to be downloaded and set up to give it a try tonight.

Long time Firefox user, but I’ve been considering trying Waterfox or Librewolf.

Any reason they would be better than FF running Ublock?

If only I could use IMAP I’d be one of them. But I went with Posteo for that very reason.

Been using Libre for a little bit, like it so far!
