@narinarinari And I'm just gonna ignore your "opt-in by default" argument, as that has been addressed multiple times now. If you wanna disagree with that, fine, that's your opinion, but I don't see a need to repeat what's been said way too many times already.

Dude, I'm already trying to figure out how to move away from Firefox entirely, so I don't really care anymore. Mozilla's been in a death spiral for years, and if this isn't the thing that finally kills people's trust, it'll be the next unwanted, un-asked for, only helps advertisers, opt-in-by-default nonsense y'all jam in there next.

All I want is a browser that doesn't sell me to the highest bidder, but apparently that's too much to ask.

@narinarinari @denschub You also need support for something other than ManifestV3

That's a whole other clusterfuck, but yeah, that'd be nice.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, there are no good privacy-focused browsers left. There are some new browser projects in the works (I think one is called Ladybird?) but who knows what will come of them, or whether they'll also sell out their users for cash.

This Internet shit has become a real bummer.

The wording of your reply implied it's not "opt-out" and that the person asking about it was wrong. Yet it's easily verified it is enabled as soon as Firefox updates itself to version 128, with no user action required.

I just verified that myself on one of the computers where I'm not running ESR.

If you meant "opt-out is fine, it doesn't bother me", then I think far from dismissing it, you've confirmed that Mozilla's entrenching on this issue and it's serious.
