Is there a list anywhere of this and other settings and features that could/should certainly be changed to better Firefox privacy?

Other than that I’m not sure I’m really going to jump ship. I think I’m getting too old for the “clunkiness” that comes with trying to use third party/self hosted alternatives to replace features that ultimately break the privacy angle, or to add them to barebones privacy focused browsers. Containers and profile/bookmark syncing, for example. But if there’s a list of switches I can flip to turn off the most egregious things, that would be good for today.

Just use LibreWolf; I’m not up to speed on this stuff but I more or less believe the hype that it will protect my privacy simply by taking Firefox and adding an ad blocker for me and disabling all the shit for me

Anyone see the option to turn it off on Android phones?

IMO it's the option in Data collection called Marketing data. It doesn't say it's PPA outright, but it sounds like the same sort of thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's a desktop only feature, it hasn't been built into mobile I believe

Well shit. Firefox is still better because it doesn't have the backdoor Google uses to catch and then block people using adblock on YouTube. For now.

Default Firefox is becoming more and more unusable. I hope distros will start switching to something like Librewolf as the default browser in the future or heavily (and visibly) change the default Firefox config themselves.

Sad to see Mozilla being managed into the ground, betraying their principles and selling their users.

Oh wow, that needs to be off by default like yesterday. 💀
