Are you for fucking real?
maybe it’s because I’ve been using nightly for some time now, but these aren’t new, right? that said, you can (and probably should) turn these off; for each new system I provision with Firefox as the browser, I run through a check list of toggles / flags to turn on and off.
Alternatively, there are several forks of Firefox that are preconfigured to be more private out of the box
You don’t have a script for all the stuff you toggle, do you?
Yeah, this is ancient news and takes all of 8 seconds to permanently disable.
Or you can just switch to LibreWolf and get no ads and no tracking, the way Mozilla was supposed to be
Mind sharing said list?
I’ll see if I can export all modified flags but generally skim through about:config for references to “reporting”, “telemetry”, “pocket”, “browser.ml”.
On desktops I also like to enable UI density == 1.
In the settings GUI I generally disable sponsored links, autoplay stuff, studies and recommendations.
prior to anything, I install ublock origin and enable its use in private browsing.
Edit: if you use regular firefox for android (not beta, nor nightly), you can access about:config via chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml
That is helpful! Thanks!
I don’t want to validate their decision but this isn’t new
