foxed out

Today, Bryan Lunduke (known from "Linux Sucks"), posted information about the recent changes in the Mozilla policies, mostly regarding the privacy of data collected by them via the Firefox browser.

And all of that just a month or two after I moved from Brave to Firefox. I do not want to go into the details, but one sentence in the Firefox legal terms made me to opt out, and never use this browser for anything:

When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.

Google did it some time ago with its Chrome browser. Since then, I use it only while working for my clients, where I am forced to do so.

I need to find some replacement. I am considering the following: LibreWolf, Chromium, Qutebrowser, and Otter.
