Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it.

Their version 128 update has auto checked a new little privacy breach setting.

If you still use a corporate browser, at least do some safety version! We mainly use @librewolf based on firefox. (yes, we know, a stable european or even non-US browser is still considered 'futuristic' in europe)

@Lokjo @librewolf Firefox itself is just controlled OP. Google is the primary funding source of Mozilla and Mozilla jumps when Chrome says to jump. They have already been super vauge about their manifest V3 complience so its likely firefox will slowly go along with it. Its what they did with JPEGXL. Google wanted the superior JPEGXL out so they could push WEBP and the corporate friendly AVIF. Mozilla intially went against google and included JPEGXL support in dev builds with plans to push it to stable but then immediately changed tones and went with google dropping it completely. RN librewolf is just furry fox with some settings checked. So i'm worried if Mozilla makes some huge manifest V3 friendly changes librewolf will just slowly trail these updates.
