"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."
so, let it be clear:
I DO NOT CONSENT to Mozilla Corp. accessing or using ANYTHING i type in my browser, whether to serve ads, train LLMs or ANYTHING.
@jz I'm joining you in abandoning the Mozilla Foundation. I am trying out a Firefox fork, Waterfox, that is generally compatible with my needs. Do you know if Thunderbird is also involved in Mozilla's enshittification agenda?
@jdormansteele2 @jz yes, it does...
"call home"
shit
@jla @jdormansteele2 can it be simply de-activated in about:config? or DNS blacklist?
@jz @jla @jdormansteele2 i would recommend a more global approach, like using opensnitch on linux, or equivalent , which allow to block outgoing connections based on IP, domains, program calling, port, etc.
This way, block all undesired 'call home' for any software.
@squalouJenkins @jla @jdormansteele2 I would support that.
I have a very old-fashioned and probably super-obsolete blacklist of google (and related services) IPs...
