Whatever happened to a control panel to turn off all of the things you Don't Want? All of these protocols should have triple toggle switches, Enabled, Ask, Disabled. If something on the page doesn't load because that protocol is disabled, it logs to the console so you can turn on what you need for that page.
I get that adding lots of user controls makes state management difficult, but there are tried and true ways to do this; users need the browser to work for them, not the other way around.
- jschwartzi 6y agoFirefox is open-source, so you could add that. I would really appreciate being able to turn WebUSB WebBluetooth and WebRTC off entirely as those expose a lot of devices that I need not to be exposed to the Internet.
- michaelt 6y agoI'm pretty sure someone at Firefox has decided the settings panel should be 'clean' and 'easy to use' rather than providing maximum control. I mean, there's a lot in about:config that the settings panel doesn't support.
