I think you meant opt-in. But it's actually opt-out in the case of Firefox, which has been shipping with Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled by default since 2

  Opt-out means on by default, opt-in is off by default (sorry to state the obvious). The users above are referring to opting in/out of the tracking rather than the blocking of the tracking - so GA on Firefox by that standard is opt-in, even though in a Firefox specific context the setting is opt-out. Obviously the EU wouldn't be cool with "but a competing browser with a small market share blocks us by default anyway".

  Yeah, I guess it depends on what the opting is for. I could have phrased that better. What I meant to say: third-party tracking is still opt-out, since you need to actively enable the content blocking to avoid being tracked. The blocking of said content trackers is opt-in of course, but that's not what I was referring to.
