they changed their ToS to allow themselves to collect some anonymous user data, no idea if they've started

the waterfox and librewolf are still safe

i have done some research and they are not very specific about what data they are collecting, will they collect users password/bookmarks? i thought sync is encrypted and server is impossible to decrypt user's data? so what data are they collecting exactly?

I don't think they've started collecting data but they might in the future.

I wrote up what happened (more stuff on my blog).

TL;DR they use aggregated data for ads and they felt like they needed to have an explicit opt-in.
