Why is no one talking about Mozilla's latest madness?

As per the recent introduction of "Terms of Use" for Firefox which is covered by (almost) copyleft license, Mozilla now imposes following non-sense on it's users.

- Mozilla now restricts users from watching or uploading sexuality explicit content through Firefox

- Mozilla can end anyone’s access to Firefox at any time for any reason

- Mozilla owns royalty-free, unrestricted access to your inputs processed by Firefox (like Search, Web History etc.)

- Mozilla will submit collected data to law enforcement as per legal request (I still don't get why it has to collect the data in the first place)

- Mozilla can change these ToS anytime and however they want

These are just a few bizarre conditions imposed by Mozilla. Even sadder part is we do not have alternatives right now except maybe LibreWolf and Tor Browser. Is there any actual piece of "user agent" software out there that works for user rather than corporate overlords?
