Have decided to give #ZenBrowser another go, but with conditions:

In case anyone wonders, this [temporary?] change from my hitherto daily :firefox_nightly: [#FirefoxNightly + #Sidebery + #uBlockOrigin + #FirefoxSecondSidebar] has nothing to do with the recent global #FUD wrt Mozilla's #TOU / #EULA, but instead is due to the aesthetic pleasantness of :zenbrowser: & the desire to use its #SplitTabView #TabSplitView #TabPaneView; two undeniable advantages over Nightly.

* the Zen subreddit is full of users posting that Zen spontaneously lost all their tabs, or all their pinned tabs, or all their unpinned tabs. In my own past months of using Zen with its native #Workspaces & tabs, it also happened to me, twice, & it is most exasperating.

Now it simply reads:

> Yep! The Firefox Browser is free.
> Super free, actually.
> No hidden costs or anything.
> You don’t #pay anything to use it.

Again, a pledge to not sell people's data has disappeared. #Varma insisted this is the result of the fluid definition of “sell” in the context of data sharing and privacy.

“Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about ‘selling data’), and we don’t #buy data about you,” he said. “We changed our #language because some jurisdictions define ‘sell’ more broadly than most people would usually understand that word.”

“On Wednesday we shared that we’re introducing a new Terms of Use (TOU) and #PrivacyNotice for #Firefox. Since then, we’ve been listening to some of our community’s concerns with parts of the #TOU, specifically about licensing. Our intent was just to be as clear as possible about how we make Firefox work, but in doing so we also created some confusion and concern. With that in mind, we’re updating the language to more clearly reflect the limited scope of how Mozilla interacts with #UserData.

Here’s what the new language will say:” — Ajit “CockWomble” Varma
