For now I installed Librefox on my devices until I am familiar with the json scripts stripping Firefox from these new features.

Nice choice though. I personally would recommend the resist fingerprinting toggle extension as well

Same here. I've tolerated enough, and now it's enough. At the same time, I'm keeping my 👀 on Ladybird and Servo development.

I already have a pihole to cut out most of the Mozilla phone home shit, now ads injected on websites with the new update, sponsored links in my address bar and what not...wuggghh. Librewolf is not exonerated strictly but better in privacy for now.

I have been a Firefox user since two decades ago, no shit.

Yep, can't remember exactly, but 20 something years sounds about right.

Librewolf will do for now. I'm aware that any solution for now is a temporary one. Let's see where we end up.
