    Unpopular opinion, but I use Firefox because I care about privacy and the spirit of the Mozilla manifesto, and this new enabled-by-default advertisement feature snuck into the browser is at odds with both.

    Mozilla never even gave their users a warning in their browser, which is even worse than how Chrome handles it (also enabled by default, but they at least included a notification with a corpo-speak justification that includes similar language about “options” and “privacy”.

      I suppose. They do launch the release page after an update, which has a link to the release notes. The release notes link to the page I linked, and that page describes how it works and how to disable it, which is just a setting in the privacy section.

      So while I’d like it a bit more front-and-center (i.e. display it on that release page), I don’t think they’re trying to hide anything here.
