Most of these defaults are what I have mine set to. I wouldn't say it's "simply awful", just different priorities. Having a tool like this allows the choice to be made in the first place, versus installing a browser and not being able to pick these without exploring.
- KennyBlanken 5y agoIt also explains the risks of most option pretty candidly. The takeaway from this wizard is that firefox has a fuckton of not-very-privacy-friendly stuff. Why does Firefox support Beacons, which have zero user benefit and only exist to track users? Why is the battery API still present, when it's been known for years that it is used for fingerprinting and tracking? Why is Punycode allowed when it's known to be used for phishing? Why is a hidden DRM extension from Google allowed to download arbitrary code? (Mmmmm, tasty tasty sponsorship dollars!) "User privacy" doesn't actually seem to be much of a priority for Firefox these days. Gotta pay for that skyrocketing CEO pay somehow...
