Firefox’s privacy defaults are too soft — and that’s exactly why I switched to this privacy-focused browser

I've spent this week bouncing between Android browsers, and I keep landing on the same conclusion: stock Firefox no longer gets the automatic benefit of the doubt from me that it once did. Mozilla’s clumsy 2025 rollout of Firefox’s first Terms of Use, in which vague licensing language led critics to worry that Mozilla was claiming broad rights over anything users typed into the browser, did not exactly strengthen my confidence in the browser’s direction. Mozilla later clarified the wording and stressed that it was not claiming ownership of user data, but the episode still made me look more closely at the gap between calling a browser privacy-respecting and building it around that principle.
