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.

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