Firefox's position on not crippling adblockers has remained consistent for years. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2022/05/18/manifest-v3-in-firefox-recap-next-

  Yeah yeah. They'll see usage dropping thanks to their spyware, sorry strike that, telemetry. Then there will be a point where "too few people use this why so we keep it around" and it will get removed.

    Why does "spyware" only matters for Firefox but not other browsers, considering ~97% of the browser market share is proprietary browsers. If people cared about privacy majority of users wouldn't use Chrome. Also what is the point of complaining about spyware when the only viable option is Chrome (and other Chromium based browsers), I trust Mozilla more than any proprietary browser vendor. They collect less data than any of the proprietary browsers. I can actually disable "spyware" using config options. They are not some black box switches that might disable the "spyware" unlike proprietary browsers.

      Telemetry doesn't help make a browser better. If anything it makes it worse by diverting resources from the actual browser or any other project it gets shoved into. Furthermore it is used as an excuse to remove features. And yes 97% of people are idiots who should never have been given a computer. They don't care that every bit of data is phoned home thereby making worse for the rest.
