Nefarious features 'enabled by default' is the standard of Firefox. What else have they switched on behind the user's back then?
> I highly recommend you use a minimum amount of extensions anyway. The OP’s extension is a good one from what I can tell but I really only use uBlock Origin, Bitwarden, and tab containers at this point. I guess whenever I use Gnome I end up having to use their extension too which is frustrating but a different story.
You might as well use Brave Browser at this point.
