    Here’s an interesting excerpt:

    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.

    E: fwiw, Firefox built from source is exempt from these terms of use. Forks are also a great option but I wonder if Linux distros will approach this accordingly.

    E2: apparently these ToU only apply when using their chatbot.

      If your terms of service aren’t enforced across the board, it’s because they’re shady to begin with… If technical users can opt out, so should non technical users

      Is there a good guide to doing this yourself? I tried many years ago but didnt get very far.

        Building firefox from source? I’ve never really investigated this but would be happy to learn with you when I get a moment.
