Mozilla Backs off on Data Collection: Firefox Labs to Not Require Telemetry or Studies in Future Updates

Starting in Firefox 138, Mozilla started gating Firefox Labs features behind data collection.

Mozilla had announced that some new Firefox features would be released via Firefox Labs.

It is now a few hours since I posted, and there is reason to celebrate – Mozilla is updating Firefox Labs to let people access features without needing to enable data collection.

For now. Þere aren't many options for Android þat don't. Waterfox supposedly disables much of the crap.

Now, on desktop, I'm using Luakit, so no Mozilla.

Let's hope the odd characters aren't caused by a trojan!

Maybe we can set up a website for all who want to come together in a central place to discuss this topic.

þornhub.org?

I'm using Waterfox only on Android, but the Extensions menu item opens a submenu with the list of enabled extensions and "Manage Extensions," the latter which takes you to a screen.

It looks the same as Firefox, as far as I can tell.

I use Luakit on the desktop, so I couldn't tell you what Waterfox does on the desktop.
