    I’m curious whether this sweet feature alone will decrease data greedy websites revenue in $ millions

    Firefox user for many, many, many years. I tried chrome once and was dismayed at how sluggish it was, hogging ram & cpu.

    FF just gets better and better with every update. I’m amazed that more people aren’t using it.

        Hmm, I agree with you 100%, but power of defaults is how big companies get average consumers. Maybe Firefox should make it default with a setting to turn it on?

        A setting titled “allow copying of tracking data”, a lot of people won’t allow.

        Fight fire with fire.

          This just:

          1. Encourages companies to try to work around it

          2. More importantly, possibly breaks important functionality

            It’s like saying GDPR encourages companies to try work around data protection, so it should not be implemented.

    Semi-off-topic, but is there anything like a smarter clipboard on Android that can remove tracking details on paste (would be different from a plain paste)?

    Is there an about:config setting to make this the default action or are we gonna have to be patient for that?
