    The feature isn’t even mentioned in Mozilla’s data protection policies. The only way for users to turn it off is to find the opt-out function in a sub-menu of the browser’s settings.

    Irritatingly, a Mozilla developer justifies the move by claiming that users can’t make an informed decision.

    This is all IN ADDITION to them turning on DoH (DNS over HTTP) without permission which nullifies ad blockers.

      We have heard this a million times. The feature you’re referencing is a net positive for privacy and yet the zealots just cannot accept that fact.

        First of all, every would is true. Nanana boo-boo is not a rebuttal.

        Second, if it is so awesome for people and not about tracking, why do you sneak in changes that circumvent anti tracking without telling people about it and burying the change in submenus?

        How many people regularly read submenus?
