Mozilla has responded to backlash users through the user’s web browser, called critics to use more languages to give the rights to the data you do or upload. The company said that the new term is not a change in Mozilla using data, but more to make a relationship with the user, clearly expressing the user agreeing when using Firefox.
Wednesday, the browser Maker introduced That’s new Terms of Use and updated Privacy notification For Firefox, say that you want to provide transparency more rights and permission in the agreement, as well as a more detailed explanation of the data practice.
“We try to make it easy to read and know – no surprises in the way operate or how we can use,” a company’s blog post.
However, there are some confusion of this – so confusion, if the company has to update the blog post to express the term does not provide user data or the right to use what is spoken in personal notice.
The user who reads through the new term is angry, pointed Mozilla who is vague and apparently all-wear that says that (emphasis): “If you upload or input information via Firefox, you will have a license that is unrelated to Royalty, Royalty -wide is free to use the information To help you navigate, experience, and interact with content online as you can use the Firefox. ”
As a number of Critics pointed Out, this claim is quite big.
Brendan eich, co-founder and CEO software isilated the rival browser, respond to Mozilla’s updated terms by writing, “WTF” on post on xSee rankings-. They also recommend that the word Mozilla is related to the business Pivot to allow Firefox for monetization by giving data to AI and other usage.
TechCrunch asked Mozilla to clarify that the current term indicates the user data provided to the company or AI Advertisement. The company tells that the Privacy notice is still applied when using AI features, and the content data is not sent to Mozilla or elsewhere. In addition, the data indicated with the advertisement is de-recognized, said that.
“These changes are not driven by Mozilla to use a person’s data for ai or sale for the advertisement,” Mozilla spokes – Daniel said in email to TechCrunch. “As you say in Terms of Use, we ask for the permission of the user using the data to use Firefox ‘as you mark using Firefox.’ This means that the ability to use data is still limited by what is said in the privacy notification. “
Privacy notice says Firefox can collect technical data and interactions about AI chatbots.
The spokespiner tells Techcrunch If the user choose to choose a third chat with Firefox, third parties will process the data according to your own. Other Ai features in Firefox operates user’s device, telling you do not send “content data to Mozilla or elsewhere.”
Mozilla also describes how it works with the advertisement, explains that the sale of the Firefox is part of the browser’s way of development.
“This is a part of Mozilla focus to build a product that maintaining privacy that increases the best practice in the industry,” spokeshop said. “In the case where we serve ads on the Firefox surface (such as new tab pages) We only collect on the privacy note, that we only share data with the identification or collected.”
The company says that the user can choose whether data is processed with advertising goals by off setting related to “technical data and interactions” desktop and Mobile at any time.
Mozilla also describes why using a particular term, saying the word “none can be used to indicate that Mozilla does not work exclusive licenses for user data, as well.
“Royalty-free” used due to free firefox and Mozilla or user must have each other’s money in exchange for the data handle. And “Worldwide” is used because Firefox is available throughout the world and give access to the global Internet.
Although Mozilla’s bond that cannot convert about Mozilla using data, people will continue to ask why the term use big language. As a result, some can change your browser to another.
That can be bad news for Firefox; Browsers only have Share 2.54% From the Browser market around the world, come at the end of Chrome (67%), Safari (17.95%), and Edge (5.2% (5.2% (5.2%).
