If British conservatives are anything like American conservatives, they mean tolerance for only them and democracy where only their voice matters.

So many people want to do "big, splashy" things that they forget that the end of the day, people are being hurt by these fascist policies.

Find places where you can help out. Not just with money but time. Because when the "big, splashy" thing happens, you'll know the people who are best poised to take advantage of it.

in the 24 hours I've been using Waterfox, I haven't noticed too many differences between it and Firefox. I know Waterfox has a lot of the telemetry removed.

Overall, I'm happy with the switch but I haven't gone through the full paces yet

Sports are protected by oligarchs that steal wages from their employees so that they can buy sports teams.

School shootings are protected by gun manufacturers who scare people into buying more guns.

Great to have you! I've thought about putting together a quick how to guide for Linux and Windows. Maybe you can do one for Mac?

My understanding is that it is compatible with all Firefox extensions. All of mine work, with the hitch of KeepassXC.

Firefox Containers work as well.

As to why Waterfox: it's just what I tried first. Seems to be working for me so I'll likely stick with it.

Absolute best case scenario is that they offer both licenses. Scratch that. Best case scenario is that they leave the license to MPL2.

But unless something drastically changes, they are going to go through with the TOU. The only way you can opt out is by using a different browser or compiling Firefox from source. You can't distribute Firefox that you compile and call it Firefox. But you can compile it from source locally and not agree to the TOU.

That doesn't explain why poor people are conservatives.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

It's about oppression. The rich benefit the most from conservatism. But the politics very much benefit those who wish to oppress.

they have not, based on the fact that the definition of "sell" is different between legal jurisdictions.

As of today, the latest Firefox Version 135.0.1 Binaries are released under MPL 2, which is open source.

Whenever the terms are implemented, the Terms of Use will replace the MPL for the binaries. Open source has a strict definition and goes beyond source code.

The Terms of Use, as current proposed, would violate #5 ("No discrimination against Persons or Groups") as the TOU allows for Mozilla to terminate your use of Firefox for any reason.

As a result, their binary moves from Open Source via the MPL to Source Available, via a proprietary license.
