Read the article. Seems like a nothing burger.

That's often what it is with Mozilla.

What the fuck is a nothing burger

It means a story that is overblown and exaggerated and receives a lot of attention, but on closer inspection warrants no concern.

A burger. With nothing on it

I don't think you read the article, or you just like being tracked.

Nah. I read it

I made jokes regarding a possible Firefox 127.0.0.1, but this is rather messed up. I keep older copies of Firefox as I see it getting gradually more enshittified.

I'm currently using FF 125.3.0 on my phone, and 127.0 on my laptop. To hell with all this enshittification, I'll just either stick with older versions, or start exploring privacy focused forks..

Seems it is disabled by default in LibreWolf. I highly suggest that, especially over using older Firefox builds.
