I won't be surprised at all. They bought an advertising network company and most of their user-tracking always was opt-out and “hidden” in about:config and this won't change now.

They also released this pamphlet against an ad-free internet, so instead of being less intrusive with their spam and user tracking, this will become more and more annoying and complex to circumvent.
