“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

    They removed that question from the FAQ, but it still states in multiple other sections, in the same link, that they do not sell user data.

    Am I reading this wrong?

      I am so fucking tired of PR speak. This is removed now so that they can sell your data later. That and the ToS change is the canary in the coalmine.

      “We akchually don’t sell your data because it isn’t the legal definition everywhere”. Fuck you

      I feel like it would’ve been really helpful if it had provided an example of something that legally counts as “selling your data”, but that any sane person would not define as such.

      Ah, so it’s not that they sell data, it’s that they share data in order to achieve commercial viability. I don’t sell items on ebay, I share them in a commercially viable way!
