From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Basically, the internet is overreacting again, but it's partly because Mozilla is shit at communicating. They should know better and understand that we're all experiencing rapid enshittification. Corporations aren't trustworthy. You can't just remove mention of "not selling your data" and just expect average people to parse the laws and your ToS and your Privacy Policy and connect all the pieces.
I would contradict you. The internet is not overreacting, Mozilla and parts of its community try to downplay the issue at hand.
Because they won't read. They look at the change of the ToS only and think that they understand what has changed.
I don't particularly care which browser people use; I just want people to be able to make an informed decision, thus I provided evidence that the internet is overreacting. Where's yours?
