    You’re welcome. I’ve been covering this issue since it’s been announced. There are a number of accounts who are either deliberately spreading misinformation or who have a very poor understanding of how software licenses work.

    Anyone who tells you that these terms are normal for a locally run browser is making the posts in bad faith.

      My lord, you’re the one who misunderstands licenses. And all internet browsers are “locally run” that’s literally what makes them browsers. They browse non-local resources.

      Just for one major example, literally chrome has a ToS.

      You’re the one arguing in bad faith. Holy shit you’re spreading so much misinformation it’s astounding.

      Thanks for further explaining.

      I’ve been super frustrated by lemmy posting vague info then going to watch some Linux and selfhosting YouTubers for them to only explain or gossip the issue for 20 minutes without alternatives.

      So far trying librefox.
