From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thousands of users wanted it, so Firefox delivered it. Tab Groups are now live to help you declutter and stay organized while browsing.

As a librewolf babe, I'm keeping an eye on this: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2458

Tab grouping is so useful and something I've always had to resort to extensions for. Good for Firefox for this, can't wait for it to make its way to a browser that doesn't sell users data.

Hey, you can use tab grouping in Librewolf if you set browser.tabs.groups.enabled to true in about:config

Thank you for this!

By now you would've expected someone to have pointed out what code is actually collecting that data that's supposedly sold.

Yeah, it still seems like an overreaction(with good intentions) to a poorly communicated change, which, yes, might mean they'll do it in the future. But for now, they have the benefit of the doubt from me, and once it starts happening, I'll move to a fork.
That being said, I don't know anything about the code, so I have to count on the community to make it known that it's actually been implemented.
For now, as far as I understand, the only indication that they're even considering it, is that change in the ToS or whatever. Nothing else to suggest it's happening.
