Respecting privacy is about not pulling user data without consent. The problem here is about control, i.e. not pushing content to users without consent.
@MoCo, you might think the (marketing) key for the (economic viability in the) future is privacy. I tend to agree. Currently, privacy has to be enforced because people are not in control. For everyone to be able to choose a satisfying level of privacy, we need tools we can control and education (poke @MoFo).
IMHO, what we (power?) users (influencers?) need is control. Hence the problem with the recent lack of support of legacy addons. While we can understand it from a security/privacy/technical point of view, it nevertheless goes in the wrong direction WRT control (shaping your tool for a specific usage).
That's a shame that you, we, can't imagine something better and make it available.

Which is why I rant so often about modern UI/UX/software design trends - they're all about disenfranchising users! The amount of control the users have over their software is being actively reduced everywhere.
- aiNohY6g 9y agoIMHO, the synergy between MoFo and MoCo should be stated as "the former educates people, the latter provides them with tools they can control". The success of the MoFo would then fuel the need for software implemented by the MoCo, and the other way around. No one, especially Mozilla, should never ever decide for us what we need.
