      It genuinely hurts my soul that this is a complete argument.

      The idea that users could or should have preferences - to be responsible to opt (in or out) in any capacity is an unreachable goal.

      It’s frustrating that a lazy or evil developer can so easily convinve the masses to give up privacy simply by dangling a shiny just outside the default security safeguards.

      It is? I didn’t notice anything. I suppose by virtue of having even heard of it I’m not the average user.

        With default settings it will wipe your history and cookies on exit

        (Which I happen to forget about every single time I install it on a new machine, I hate this default with a passion)

        Then there’s disabled WebGL, which you also have to reenable on a bunch of sites. Not too hard, but probably annoying for some

          Its a really really simple change to make them work again and iirc you can set a profile but it is mildly technical which means wayyy too difficult for average people
