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.

So you still depend on the Mozilla team for your security, then.

    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!
