Okay, can anyone recommend a good, uBlock-Origin supporting browser that isn't controlled by underhanded corporate/for-profit lying-through-their-teeth pieces of shit?
Making these legal terms changes while "summarizing" them with the typical "we care about your privacy" bullshit is of the same nature as punching someone in the face and exclaiming you are caring about their health. It's just evil - misleading and abusive.
I feel like the internet needs a tracker of moral failings of companies/organizations like this, it's still too easy for something like this to slip through and not reach sufficient publicity to affect public opinion and therefore action. They need to be held to the highest account, openly, publicly, and brutally shamed, ostracized and sued if necessary. If they fail and exploit the rights of individuals, mishandle the "implicit consent"/trust of their users, at their scale, they fail and exploit collective humanity.
One may argue this is a non-issue due to the freedom of contract - and people can just choose to use whatever they want - but who among us has such a continuous legal awareness of all the software they use to be able to switch whenever needed due to some software enshittifying?
My only hope may still lie in software managed by legally codified (truly) non-profit organizations. Lichess and the Blender Foundation are led by people who have held to their word, and made the world better for it.
