Apparently mozilla wants the right to get data from firefox users. But not like general information, they want to know what data you upload or download through firefox.

Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example.

What the fuck? I use firefox because I want privacy!!! Not sharing my information with a company.

We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. WHY DO YOU NEED MY DATA TO MAKE FIREFOX WORK???

    so why weren’t they in there before? moz’s lawyers have obviously never thought they even need a policy before now, so what changed?

      Because they’re going to offer optional AI integration in the browser

      Look, we are in the minority. Lemmy has like, what, some thousands of users at best. Most people want features like AI, and firefox has to offer them to gain users instead of bleeding like a stuck pig as they’re doing now

      And the sentiment against AI on lemmy absolutely sucks dick. I’m tempted to go back to Reddit because this place is luddite.ml at this point. People who’ve never spun up a local model on their GPU talk like they have trifecta PhD creds in comp sci
