  Lots of expletives in the article, but the TL;DR: Mozilla bought an ad-tracking company run by ex-Meta executives and Mozilla is selling your browsing activity in Firefox "privately" to advertisers. Mozilla has given up on privacy.

    > Mozilla is selling your browsing activity in Firefox "privately" to advertisers Do you have a better source for this?

        Where does it say Mozilla has your browsing history or sells it?

  I transitioned to Waterfox. It has a couple issues such as being unable to login to my banking services and getting Youtube to sign into Google's SSO but I hope to resolve at a later time. Be prepared to reconfigure all your extensions again though..

  This is very old news, but I'm glad the word is getting out. Firefox is an ad-tech company now and should be avoided.
