Fantastic, guess I'll be looking for an alternative to Firefox.

Omfg I'm sick of this bullshit
I await to see technical enforcement of it. Anyone can write rules on a piece of paper, but without collecting information physically, or having someone enforce it, it's useless words. And so far it seems a lot of people and companies make rules and claims without technological enforcement.
I imagine though at worst you can simply block all of mozilla's domains through /etc/hosts and their IPs or IP range with a firewall rule. Still sucks but you do not need to comply with it, no matter what anyone says. It's the technical aspects that are the most thorny, not the words on a page.

Sigh.
Is it so hard to just be an ethical company? Must every product and service become enshittified?
Couldn't they have just made these "features" an add-on that the user can choose to install (and agree to a separate ToS to use), rather than have it baked into the browser code?
There was a time when you could use the same piece of software or service for decades without worry. Now, I feel like I'm replacing software every few months because of enshittification.
Is it so hard to just be an ethical company?
Well, assuming by company you mean a for-profit entity, then yes.
I mean company*
*organisation, non-profit, for-profit, family-owned, corporation, etc.
Why is it so difficult to be ethical? Why the hell is being unethical rewarded by our society? We have everything so ass backwards.

Bruh. Is there a Firefox fork on Android? I have Librewolf on desktop but I don't think they have an Android app sadly.
Fennec is one for Android. Seems okay so far.

Doesn't apply to forks, but still...
