"The privacy invading feature that was patched into your browser and silently turned on by default was announced on our browser's blog 2 years ago so why are you so mad?"
My dude I'm probably in the top 0.01% of humans alive advocating for your product and I have never read your fucking blog because even I think "keeping up on the blog of the browser I use" is a fucking weirdo move
I just checked my Firefox preferences for the new privacy violation feature by searching for "Website Advertising Preferences" and got nothing. Thought "okay, I don't have this update yet, don't need to worry about that" - and then I searched manually and found it.
I firmly do not believe this is moustache-twirling evil behavior (even though the overall feature is) but rather a quirk of whatever markup they're using to generate the prefs page; that heading is (basically) an h1 instead of an h2, and none of the other h1s in the prefs are searchable either. But you should know, if you go in to turn it off, that it won't come up in a search, you have to go to the privacy tab and look manually.
And it sure is convenient, given that I never would have remembered to check for this again. That's how most dark patterns work, by the way.
