Firefox is trying to gain back user trust with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=O-xyNkvIB9g

This is a legit question: Should anybody trust Firefox again unless they put “we won’t sell your data” back into the privacy policy? I’m actually not sure if they haven’t already done so, let me elaborate:

https://brave.com/privacy/browser/ Brave: “We do not sell, trade, or transfer your information to any third parties.” This seems to obviously be in the legally binding text part. As is this one: “It’s Brave’s policy to not collect personal data1 unless it’s necessary to provide services to our users, or to meet certain legal obligations. We do not buy or sell personal data about consumers.” (Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer.)

However, for Firefox it seems ambiguous to me, which worries me: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/#notice There is no appearance of “sell” in the entire privacy document, excpet for the top summary where i’m not sure if it’s at all legally non-binding.

Does anybody know if it is legally binding? If Mozilla were serious about it, why would they leave it ambiguous whether it is…?

Based on that, I’m not sure if Mozilla’s video about getting users back is worth trusting. I wonder if it’s just me.

Update for clarification: I’m not using Brave myself, and this isn’t a suggestion anybody should blindly do so.

    Can you suggest one? Obvious it’s not LibreWolf due to lack of respect.

              I use the latest version. I also have resist fingerprinting disabled and sync enabled. It’s been a while so I don’t quite remember but I think one or both of those might be required for it to work. I know resist fingerprinting disables a lot of stuff so for convenience I disable it and instead use a JS blocker.

                Unfortunately, you’re statement from before is wrong. Saving passwords is still broken. I just double-checked it Librewolf on the latest 148.0.2.2 version. By saving password I mean the “Ask to save passwords” in Private & Security settings. Librewolf completely ignores it. Librewolf folks do some very stupid UI things with their fork.

                  That’s strange. I just tested it on my machine and it is still working so there must be something weird going on that makes it only work for some people. I am using Debian and have it installed with extrepo, perhaps it is an issue with a specific release?

                    You’re really sure that you get this popup?

                    If so, can you pin down the exact version you use and the source you get it from? I think the last Librewolf that had rememberSignons working was 134.
