PSA (?): just got this popup in Firefox when i was on an amazon product page. looked into it a bit because it seemed weird and it turns out if you click the big “yes, try it” button, you agree to mandatory binding arbitration with Fakespot and you waive your right to bring a class action lawsuit against them. this is awesome thank you so much mozilla very cool

So, Mozilla adds an AI review features for products you view using Firefox. Other than being very useless, it’s T&C are as anti-consumer as it possibly can be. It’s like mozilla saying directly “we don’t care about your privacy”.

they seem to be basically saying that they make most of their profit by selling your private data to advertisers, trend calculators etc etc
all the data that goes through the firefox integration is anonymised

Mozilla claims the service respects your privacy because they are using OHTTP (which does NOT provide anonymity)… The marketing speak implies anonymity heavily, but doesn’t say it

anonymization is not a silver bullet. Data gets deanonymized all the time. It’s very easy to accidentally leak useful information
I puked a little when I read both names in the screenshot OP posted.
