Yeah I am very bothered at mozilla's, and a variety of other
organizations choices that don't respect the end users and developers.
Doing something that alienates the majority of your users for "progress"
doesn't seem like a good idea, only a non-profit or a monopoly is
whacked out enough to pull this type of thing.

They haven't put the users at #1 for a long time, why do you think that
firefox is still very vulnerable to browser fingerprinting? that is by
design.
