I'm puzzled why you think supporting DNR is a bad thing. I get the argument that it feels like it moves closer to abandoning blocking web requests, and that's probably more a question of trust than anything. But there are valid te

At a high level, I believe that's the plan. At a more detailed level, well... I'm not that familiar with the area, but it seems like it's a bit of a tangled mess. The big item of disabling non-declarative content blocking see

It's a persuasive argument, but most of the "dead" tools mentioned in the talk were created in the era where the creators were inspired more by the beauty of their creations than their relevance to some bottom line. C C++ P

From what I understand, Firefox does tag the initial browser install in order to track the marketing channel the install came from, but after the first run it stops sending it. So no, it cannot be correlated with location history. (And if

I'm sympathetic to your point of view, but I disagree. Telemetry is a bit like DRM. Firefox strenuously avoided DRM for a long time, losing a lot of market share in the process, until it became clear that it could not stay relevant wit

I recently started using this, but I have to say it is of limited utility without folding. I nearly always end up opening up .org files in emacs instead just so I can collapse sections and concentrate on the stuff I care about at the time.
