Mozilla's Broken Trust: Firefox's New Terms of Service and Privacy Policy Spark Outrage
2025-02-28

Mozilla's recent update to Firefox's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy has sparked user concern over data security and privacy. The new policy includes a "non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license" clause, allowing Mozilla to use user browsing data, contradicting Firefox's long-standing commitment to privacy. The author criticizes Mozilla's move as a "massive unforced error," shifting Firefox from a trusted browser to a data collection service. They urge Mozilla to revoke overly broad policies, applying them only to features requiring them, and to preserve Firefox's image as a champion of the open web.
