Your logic is completely incomprehensible. Since Mozilla _may_ sell your data, your going to abandon it for Goggle? Who will _definitely_ sell your data? This is irrational. There is LibreWolf, Brave, Palemoon, just to name a few browsers t

"open source" has always been a marketing strategy. Primarily intended for the development of commercial products. Try to overcome the aversion to saying "free software". This would more accurately express what your tryi
