Firefox is d34d

Firefox updated its terms of use to remove the part where they say they won't use your data for AI training or commercial purpose... Mozilla is soooo cooked it created a massive backlash from the community. They tried to justify VERY POORLY. One attempt at explain has been made on youtube, don't waste time watching it it's a shitty one i think.

More explanations here and here.

Add this to the fact that mozilla has been more and more funded by google rencently, the addition of a sponsored home page and all this kind of corporate bullshit, you'd understand that to the FOSS community they are pretty much cooked.

The question now is :

What do we do ?

Well, idk. But I found this very interesting project : Ladybird

They are really promising. No weird fundings, user-first policy, small team, google-free browser. Very advanced project, by competent people with a bit of morals. Needless to say, the interest toward this project just boomed since the mozilla TOS announcement.

But there is a tweak. They are still pre-alpha.... Meaning you won't get any pre-built executable file, and even if you did that'd be buggy as fuck. The first alpha release is previewed for 2026, and final release for 2028 (we know deadline are a thing to be post-poned, so let's say 2030) AND windows not supported. Maybe a good reason to switch back to linux for work & personnal computers ?

I'd follow closely the advancement, and I think that i'll switch as soon as possible. Meanwhile, meh, let's do with what we have... Corporate shitstorm
