Firefox users are more informed and militant in how to make an effective evaluation on the site. Chrome users are governed by lowest common denominator.

Think about this: in a complex enough information system, there's almost no one that understands all of it, therefore you need teams to take care of certain functions and processes. Multiply that by 3x10^33 and you have a economic syst

> How is this not solved yet? Because what is the problem to solve here? If you do not require services to confirm the age of the user, they will not have to confirm the age of the user. This is a problem created.

I would love that detractors explain what data is being sold, exactly. Because it's the same data that you have willingly given them by using their _services_. The only change with the product is "for the purpose of doing as you r

The value isn't financial. Making their product better can be used as a something valuable that the organization gains.

They do that distinction, the only confusion here is that they also include language that allows them to act as the User Agent. That's everything that pertains to Firefox the browser. Everything else is about services that are availabl

If I tell you "hey, I need to collect data from your system, and said data will be shared with everyone else publicly in our bug tracker", how would a legal scholar read that wrt California law? BTW, layman arguing about legal def

They will face the same issues Mozilla is facing if they ever want to collect user data. Also, they will probably be financially supported by Google because Google do not want the argument of monopoly to have hold.

by braiamp 2y ago
Mozilla being explicitly privacy focused didn't get them any effective brownie points. The only thing that saves them is that they are the only viable competitor so, Google, via Chromium has to support them financially so that they don

Every open source has a disclaimer that says that they are not liable of the usage of the software. This is saying that they collect data, yes, but are only liable in case they collect data that you, the user, hasn't explicitly told th

The problem is that they also transfer that data and make it public [1] and also share with partners researchers for improving the software. Those two usages are selling according to California law, just because they can be argued as someth

Partners include people like you and me that work with them on specific experiments. Depending on the kind of data, for example Normandy [1] data, Nimbus [2] data are used on those experiments and help to develop and improve the product. Re

That language is still there. They only collect data with your permission and that data is the only one that is being talked about in the changes.

by braiamp 2y ago
Because law sucks. Every open source application has language that says about the same thing.

by braiamp 2y ago
This is yet again a nothing burger. They had to change that definition because in California "selling" means "[...] releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring [...]" in exchange for “monetary” o

This is the wrong response, because that means that the learning would be lost. The security community didn't want that to happen when one of the CA's got a vulnerability, we do not want it to happen to other companies. We want co

The funniest thing about this list, is that all those things has happened with "approved" "certified" repairs and/or replacement processes.
