    hello guys and gals me mudahar and
  • 00:00:02
    today's video is brought to you by our
  • 00:00:04
    own merch we just launched today some
  • 00:00:06
    ordinary gamers. store ladies and
  • 00:00:09
    gentlemen you want to get yourself this
  • 00:00:11
    nice hoodie woo it's there want to get
  • 00:00:13
    yourself a little coffee mug it's there
  • 00:00:16
    check it out guys some ordinary gamers.
  • 00:00:18
    store we had a few mentions for decided
  • 00:00:20
    to throw it in but that's not what this
  • 00:00:22
    video is entirely about you know I
  • 00:00:24
    always talk about system privacy okay I
  • 00:00:26
    think it's really important I think your
  • 00:00:27
    privacy and your safety on the Internet
  • 00:00:29
    is probably one of the most most
  • 00:00:30
    important things ever and if it feels
  • 00:00:31
    like I've mellowed out over here you
  • 00:00:33
    probably noticed in like the last year
  • 00:00:35
    close to you know the last several
  • 00:00:37
    months I made a video about Opera GX for
  • 00:00:40
    instance right where I looked into it I
  • 00:00:41
    wanted to see some of its claims I
  • 00:00:43
    wanted to test it and I really wanted to
  • 00:00:45
    give my take where honestly when it came
  • 00:00:47
    to a web browser which is something you
  • 00:00:49
    use for most of your you know computer
  • 00:00:51
    experience you're probably using one
  • 00:00:53
    right now if you're watching this video
  • 00:00:55
    on your computer then you want to make
  • 00:00:57
    sure you pick one that respects your
  • 00:00:59
    privacy your safety and the data you
  • 00:01:02
    provide the browser when communicating
  • 00:01:04
    with websites all over the internet
  • 00:01:06
    right so obviously one of the most
  • 00:01:09
    popular browsers in the world is
  • 00:01:11
    something known as Firefox so you
  • 00:01:13
    probably have seen Firefox at some point
  • 00:01:15
    you probably used it I used to be
  • 00:01:16
    somebody that was a user of Firefox
  • 00:01:18
    right now if you go to firefox's FAQ
  • 00:01:21
    right now you'll notice is Firefox safe
  • 00:01:24
    why is Firefox so slow does Firefox use
  • 00:01:28
    Google and of course obvious viously if
  • 00:01:30
    I control F here and just ask does
  • 00:01:32
    Firefox sell your personal data well
  • 00:01:35
    you'll probably see see that it's not
  • 00:01:37
    really uh an an option there in fact if
  • 00:01:39
    I just type in the word cell there's
  • 00:01:41
    actually no mention of it in the most
  • 00:01:43
    updated FAQ however back in
  • 00:01:47
    2023 they used to say does Firefox sell
  • 00:01:50
    your personal data nope never will never
  • 00:01:53
    have and we protect you from many of the
  • 00:01:56
    advertisers who do yeah I guess uh I
  • 00:01:58
    guess the definition of never have never
  • 00:02:00
    will this probably should be changed to
  • 00:02:03
    never yet maybe I don't know question
  • 00:02:05
    mark so okay look there's been a lot of
  • 00:02:07
    talk about firefox's um terms of
  • 00:02:10
    services having some rather wild changes
  • 00:02:13
    in it and to give you an idea this is
  • 00:02:15
    the Mozilla Bedrock GitHub and this is
  • 00:02:17
    the entire code red is basically where
  • 00:02:20
    things are removed and obviously people
  • 00:02:21
    are commenting on it and talking about
  • 00:02:23
    how Firefox is basically removing a lot
  • 00:02:26
    of the you know stuff they said about
  • 00:02:28
    selling user data and of course you see
  • 00:02:30
    a bunch of comments unlike other
  • 00:02:32
    companies we don't sell access to your
  • 00:02:34
    data and it's gone it's gone being that
  • 00:02:37
    literally that that was removed from uh
  • 00:02:40
    this uh this um this commit right here
  • 00:02:43
    so of course the further down you go
  • 00:02:45
    into it it's like does Firefox sell your
  • 00:02:47
    personal data that page we just looked
  • 00:02:48
    at R meaning removed imagine making a
  • 00:02:52
    promise and then just removing it like
  • 00:02:54
    honestly yeah imagine making a promise
  • 00:02:56
    about being so privacy focused and then
  • 00:02:59
    bend sending people over a barrel and
  • 00:03:01
    telling them to take it so all right
  • 00:03:03
    going into the Firefox terms of services
  • 00:03:05
    right or the terms of use rather right
  • 00:03:07
    Firefox is a free and open- Source web
  • 00:03:09
    browser built by Community for thousands
  • 00:03:12
    of users all over the world okay so yeah
  • 00:03:14
    Firefox is a nonprofit it's an open
  • 00:03:16
    source project it literally exists again
  • 00:03:18
    as competition to some of the largest
  • 00:03:21
    people in the game so for instance right
  • 00:03:23
    over here one of the things that people
  • 00:03:25
    wanted to point out quite specifically
  • 00:03:27
    was this line right here so you get
  • 00:03:29
    Mozilla All rights necessary to operate
  • 00:03:32
    Firefox including processing data as we
  • 00:03:35
    describe in the Firefox privacy notice
  • 00:03:38
    okay so hold on I give mozill Mozilla
  • 00:03:40
    rights to operate Firefox and processing
  • 00:03:43
    data what is processing data so let me
  • 00:03:45
    open up the Firefox privacy notice and
  • 00:03:47
    see exactly what the processing data
  • 00:03:49
    could be so for instance when looking at
  • 00:03:52
    the data it's to provide you with the
  • 00:03:54
    Firefox browser so Firefox collects
  • 00:03:56
    certain data like technical settings
  • 00:03:57
    data to provide the core functionality
  • 00:03:59
    of Firefox Box's browser and Associated
  • 00:04:02
    Services distinguish your device from
  • 00:04:04
    others remember to remember and respect
  • 00:04:06
    your settings and provide you with
  • 00:04:08
    default features like new Taps PDF
  • 00:04:10
    editings password managers and [ __ ] like
  • 00:04:12
    that so of course to go down into it we
  • 00:04:14
    also look at things like the search
  • 00:04:16
    functionality that is being improved uh
  • 00:04:18
    more importantly we're looking at
  • 00:04:20
    situations like AI chatbots review
  • 00:04:23
    Checkers sponsored content and uh yeah
  • 00:04:26
    it seems like that Firefox is kind of
  • 00:04:28
    introducing a Fair bit of uh of of of AI
  • 00:04:32
    level features which is not surprising I
  • 00:04:34
    think a lot of browsers have ai features
  • 00:04:36
    into it I think Edge probably has
  • 00:04:38
    co-pilot baked into it at this point
  • 00:04:40
    haven't used it in a while Brave I know
  • 00:04:43
    is the browser that I used and that also
  • 00:04:44
    has a few AI features as well too so for
  • 00:04:47
    a lot of these services that are
  • 00:04:49
    designed obviously Firefox probably will
  • 00:04:52
    need some license to grab your data your
  • 00:04:55
    you know processing data send it over to
  • 00:04:57
    these Services if you choose to use them
  • 00:05:00
    hopefully so going back to the terms of
  • 00:05:02
    services right as well as acting on your
  • 00:05:04
    behalf to help you navigate the internet
  • 00:05:06
    when you upload or input information
  • 00:05:07
    through Firefox such as you go up and
  • 00:05:09
    put in an address into the SE or into
  • 00:05:11
    into your address bar whatever you
  • 00:05:13
    hereby grant us a non-exclusive
  • 00:05:15
    royaltyfree worldwide license to use
  • 00:05:18
    that information to help you navigate
  • 00:05:19
    experience and interact with online
  • 00:05:21
    content as you indicate with your use of
  • 00:05:24
    Firefox so obviously when people are
  • 00:05:26
    reading things like that they Wonder
  • 00:05:27
    okay why are you grabbing it why do you
  • 00:05:29
    need these royalty-free licenses and
  • 00:05:31
    look if I had to be like the most
  • 00:05:33
    charitable person here I'm assuming with
  • 00:05:36
    this legal speak they're probably
  • 00:05:38
    referring to maybe an AI like feature or
  • 00:05:40
    something or some backend service where
  • 00:05:42
    in order to use it you need to send them
  • 00:05:44
    an actual piece of the information
  • 00:05:46
    you're using like for instance if you're
  • 00:05:48
    searching through like an AI Search tool
  • 00:05:49
    that Firefox is providing just bear with
  • 00:05:51
    me you send them permission to use what
  • 00:05:54
    you just sent them to participate in
  • 00:05:56
    their backend feature so they can give
  • 00:05:58
    you the result right and this is
  • 00:06:00
    something that if you look up any AI
  • 00:06:01
    tool any social media really you are
  • 00:06:04
    ultimately providing some royaltyfree
  • 00:06:06
    worldwide licenses right that is just me
  • 00:06:09
    being as like charitable as possible
  • 00:06:12
    into reading this right obviously my
  • 00:06:14
    perspective is with vague um you know
  • 00:06:18
    wording like this with like vague legal
  • 00:06:20
    it even if it's not malicious now
  • 00:06:23
    there's no reason to not expect any form
  • 00:06:25
    of maliciousness down the road right
  • 00:06:27
    which is why anytime I see this all
  • 00:06:29
    already I wouldn't use Firefox okay I
  • 00:06:31
    already wouldn't be jumping into it but
  • 00:06:33
    the reason I'm not using
  • 00:06:35
    Firefox like this is also the reason
  • 00:06:37
    that I don't use Google Chrome I don't
  • 00:06:39
    use plenty of browsers that are shady to
  • 00:06:41
    me and of course Firefox did in fact
  • 00:06:44
    respond to this and provided hey we've
  • 00:06:46
    seen a little confusion about the
  • 00:06:48
    language regarding licenses so we want
  • 00:06:50
    to clear it up yeah there's going to be
  • 00:06:52
    confusion [ __ ] because you're
  • 00:06:54
    writing it in like straight up legal EAS
  • 00:06:55
    it's going to be confusing any we are
  • 00:06:57
    worried people care about their privacy
  • 00:06:59
    and they should they're not overreacting
  • 00:07:02
    let's not even go down that road they
  • 00:07:03
    haven't said it I I anytime I read this
  • 00:07:05
    it always sounds like somebody's telling
  • 00:07:07
    me I'm overreacting stop it we need a
  • 00:07:09
    license to allow us to make some of the
  • 00:07:11
    basic functionality of Firefox possible
  • 00:07:13
    okay without it we couldn't use
  • 00:07:14
    information typed into Firefox for
  • 00:07:16
    example it does not give us ownership of
  • 00:07:18
    your data a right to use it for anything
  • 00:07:20
    other than what is described in the
  • 00:07:21
    Privacy notice so literally what they
  • 00:07:24
    have kind of said over here is Firefox
  • 00:07:27
    will continue to add new features
  • 00:07:28
    improve existence exting ones and Test
  • 00:07:30
    new ideas we remain dedicated to making
  • 00:07:32
    Firefox open source but we believe that
  • 00:07:35
    doing so along with an official to will
  • 00:07:37
    give you more transparency over your
  • 00:07:39
    rights and permissions as you use
  • 00:07:41
    Firefox we have always prioritized user
  • 00:07:44
    privacy and will continue to do so we
  • 00:07:46
    use data to make Firefox functional and
  • 00:07:48
    sustainable sustainable what what the
  • 00:07:51
    [ __ ] does the environment have to do
  • 00:07:52
    with any of this [ __ ] improve your
  • 00:07:54
    experience and keep you safe some
  • 00:07:57
    optional Firefox features or Services
  • 00:07:59
    May require us to collect additional
  • 00:08:00
    data to make them work and when they do
  • 00:08:02
    your privacy remains our priority so
  • 00:08:05
    realistically again like I said earlier
  • 00:08:07
    it really seems like they're getting
  • 00:08:08
    Firefox ready for like AI tools to jump
  • 00:08:11
    in and a lot of AI backends you know
  • 00:08:13
    Firefox Services right so let's say they
  • 00:08:16
    introduce like a Firefox deep research
  • 00:08:18
    tool right where Firefox will use an AI
  • 00:08:21
    to search the internet and give you like
  • 00:08:22
    a summary of tools it's kind of like how
  • 00:08:25
    open AI grock a lot of these AI models
  • 00:08:27
    work a lot of these AI tools so you go
  • 00:08:30
    to Firefox you tell it hey here's an
  • 00:08:32
    entry right here's a like let's say hey
  • 00:08:34
    look up Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer 2 for
  • 00:08:36
    me uh or look up Grand Theft Auto 6
  • 00:08:39
    analysis so you feed it that string it's
  • 00:08:41
    going to take that string from you as a
  • 00:08:43
    you know license as a you know
  • 00:08:44
    non-exclusive royalty-free license
  • 00:08:46
    whatever and use that in their backend
  • 00:08:49
    service to do the search for you and
  • 00:08:50
    spit out their slot back so that's the
  • 00:08:53
    most charitable way for me to look at it
  • 00:08:55
    right but again it all comes down to a
  • 00:08:58
    lot of these services in introducing a
  • 00:09:00
    lot of these browsers introducing I
  • 00:09:02
    would think really needless services and
  • 00:09:05
    then because they introduce those
  • 00:09:06
    needless Services they then require more
  • 00:09:08
    data from the average user and who knows
  • 00:09:10
    where that data gets going to like I
  • 00:09:12
    said at the beginning of this video I
  • 00:09:13
    was showing you their actual page their
  • 00:09:16
    actual like you know Firefox page and
  • 00:09:18
    they were like hey they used to have a
  • 00:09:20
    clause that says we don't ever sell your
  • 00:09:22
    data that Clause has since been removed
  • 00:09:25
    so all of these things coming together
  • 00:09:26
    makes you wonder if this is as uh if
  • 00:09:29
    this is as like simple and and and and
  • 00:09:31
    well-meaning well-intentioned as they're
  • 00:09:34
    presenting it over here that's up to you
  • 00:09:36
    the end user to make that decision for
  • 00:09:38
    yourself but based on everything that
  • 00:09:39
    I've seen I would not ever use Firefox
  • 00:09:43
    again okay and you know what that's not
  • 00:09:45
    even that big of a deal because to be
  • 00:09:47
    honest switching off Firefox is probably
  • 00:09:50
    one of the easiest things you can do
  • 00:09:52
    remember this is a set of licenses that
  • 00:09:55
    they've introduced into what is known as
  • 00:09:57
    the Firefox like bedrock firefox's
  • 00:10:00
    actual binary release meaning that if
  • 00:10:02
    you're downloading Firefox from the web
  • 00:10:03
    browser you basically sign up to those
  • 00:10:05
    terms of services by using their binary
  • 00:10:08
    version of the browser the one you
  • 00:10:10
    download from the page but remember
  • 00:10:12
    Firefox is open source this is Firefox
  • 00:10:14
    source code anybody can take this source
  • 00:10:17
    code and Fork this source code and make
  • 00:10:19
    their own browser out of this which is
  • 00:10:22
    exactly what's happened with other
  • 00:10:23
    people in this game so again if you want
  • 00:10:26
    to use a more privacy version of fir Fox
  • 00:10:29
    a far more privacy version there's
  • 00:10:32
    mulvad browser for Linux right here
  • 00:10:34
    ladies and gentlemen completely free for
  • 00:10:36
    anybody to use right now you can
  • 00:10:38
    download this give it a try far more
  • 00:10:40
    private than Firefox could ever have if
  • 00:10:42
    you want to use Firefox but more privacy
  • 00:10:44
    focused there's Libra wolf which
  • 00:10:47
    literally you can get the installation
  • 00:10:49
    right here it comes for Windows Mac OS
  • 00:10:52
    and depending on which version of Linux
  • 00:10:53
    you're on like for instance I'm on Arch
  • 00:10:55
    Linux uh click on Arch Linux it will
  • 00:10:57
    tell you hey here's how install Arch do
  • 00:11:00
    you have a uh or helper you can put this
  • 00:11:03
    command into your terminal if you don't
  • 00:11:05
    that's fine use this Command right here
  • 00:11:07
    Source version or the binary version so
  • 00:11:11
    you literally don't have to use Firefox
  • 00:11:13
    if you feel uncomfortable because
  • 00:11:14
    Firefox as a company is introducing
  • 00:11:16
    things that you may not agree with
  • 00:11:19
    that's totally fine that's totally okay
  • 00:11:21
    Switching off is no problem if you want
  • 00:11:23
    to go to chromium browsers you don't
  • 00:11:25
    even have to use Google Chrome there's
  • 00:11:27
    ungoogled chromium you can go over to
  • 00:11:29
    this GitHub repository right now you can
  • 00:11:32
    literally go to the downloads page and
  • 00:11:35
    it will tell you how you can download
  • 00:11:36
    this for Mac OS Windows various versions
  • 00:11:40
    of Linux all the actual instructions
  • 00:11:42
    have basically been provided so there is
  • 00:11:45
    no real issue switching off browsers if
  • 00:11:48
    you feel uncomfortable now there's a
  • 00:11:51
    website known as privacy test.org which
  • 00:11:53
    will go through a further analysis of
  • 00:11:55
    the Privacy that certain browsers
  • 00:11:57
    provide so for instance when it comes to
  • 00:11:59
    State partitioning tests Brave
  • 00:12:01
    absolutely passes as does Firefox but
  • 00:12:04
    since you don't feel comfortable with
  • 00:12:05
    Firefox let's say go to Libra wolf it
  • 00:12:07
    passes the exact same state partitioning
  • 00:12:10
    tests it passes even more https tests
  • 00:12:13
    than Firefox or Brave does so yeah
  • 00:12:16
    realistically if you're worried about
  • 00:12:18
    you know Firefox and them including
  • 00:12:20
    features like AI or features that
  • 00:12:22
    require them to take information from
  • 00:12:24
    you and process them for whatever reason
  • 00:12:27
    then you don't have to use their service
  • 00:12:29
    you can just stay away the way that
  • 00:12:31
    Firefox has been treating themselves
  • 00:12:33
    is honestly like to to say the least
  • 00:12:36
    very concerning like very very
  • 00:12:38
    concerning and mind you Firefox has had
  • 00:12:40
    a leadership shakeup and I believe
  • 00:12:43
    they've actually had people introduced
  • 00:12:44
    into their organization that are more AI
  • 00:12:46
    friendly so you know all those AI
  • 00:12:48
    features that you may be annoyed by they
  • 00:12:51
    may slowly be introducing themselves
  • 00:12:54
    into one of these browsers now to also
  • 00:12:56
    give a a little bit of you know extra
  • 00:12:58
    context
  • 00:12:59
    if you read the terms of services
  • 00:13:01
    provided by say Google for instance
  • 00:13:03
    Google also talks about having certain
  • 00:13:06
    licenses right so this is not like an
  • 00:13:08
    exclusive feature that exists entirely
  • 00:13:11
    for Firefox they're not the only people
  • 00:13:13
    doing it Google also does this but
  • 00:13:15
    remember Google also is one of the most
  • 00:13:18
    invasive privacy busting groups on the
  • 00:13:21
    internet so just because you're similar
  • 00:13:23
    to Google in this regard doesn't
  • 00:13:25
    actually help your case but to give you
  • 00:13:27
    an idea firefox's new new terms of
  • 00:13:29
    services is not something that is not
  • 00:13:31
    standard uh in fact there's a lot of
  • 00:13:33
    legal ease and there's a lot of broad
  • 00:13:35
    legal work just to exist literally so
  • 00:13:38
    that they can introduce a lot of these
  • 00:13:40
    features uh down the road and have them
  • 00:13:42
    you know gain access to some of your
  • 00:13:44
    data to again give you access to these
  • 00:13:46
    AI level features that I think will be
  • 00:13:48
    implemented down the road or it could be
  • 00:13:49
    any other feature tying to the Firefox
  • 00:13:52
    back end but yeah Firefox would never
  • 00:13:55
    trust it again and I would never
  • 00:13:57
    recommend it to anybody but given you
  • 00:13:59
    some actual options to switch off in
  • 00:14:01
    this video so if you are somebody that
  • 00:14:03
    cares about your privacy and and you
  • 00:14:04
    should and remember this is your web
  • 00:14:06
    browsing experience switching a browser
  • 00:14:08
    is not that hard okay it's literally a
  • 00:14:11
    you go to a different website you
  • 00:14:12
    download a different browser you install
  • 00:14:14
    it you copy your settings over and
  • 00:14:16
    you're done you never have to worry
  • 00:14:18
    about it again so honestly if you're a
  • 00:14:21
    Firefox user my personal recommendation
  • 00:14:23
    if you love firefox's engine go to Libra
  • 00:14:26
    wolf if you want to switch to chromium
  • 00:14:28
    go to bra
  • 00:14:29
    go to ungoogled chromium but I would
  • 00:14:32
    recommend if you care about your privacy
  • 00:14:34
    and it's super easy to switch even if
  • 00:14:36
    you're a Firefox person go to something
  • 00:14:38
    like Liber wolf it's easy go to molad
  • 00:14:40
    browser go to any other browser but
  • 00:14:43
    Firefox you know the reason I don't use
  • 00:14:45
    Firefox right now is literally the same
  • 00:14:48
    reason that I don't use Microsoft Edge
  • 00:14:50
    or Google Chrome they're all run by
  • 00:14:52
    these big companies they're all run by
  • 00:14:53
    people slowly festering an AI to their
  • 00:14:55
    Tools in [ __ ] ifying their actual
  • 00:14:57
    applications and and uh basically taking
  • 00:15:00
    away what is just simple web browsing at
  • 00:15:02
    the end of the day but yeah that's just
  • 00:15:05
    where my take is I wanted to really make
  • 00:15:07
    a video on it because yeah this is weird
  • 00:15:10
    it's just it's not okay if you like what
  • 00:15:13
    you saw please like comment and
  • 00:15:14
    subscribe dis like dislike it I am out
