Although I understand the reasoning beyond the language used in this post, I’m sad to read that hardened privacy is considered a power user thing.

What’s really sad is the fact you need to make a bunch of convenience tradeoffs and go well out of your way for improved privacy, and on a browser that already has a lot of built-in features for privacy. And a downside of using a Firefox fork is not getting the latest Firefox updates ASAP, you have to wait for the fork to update. It goes to show how privacy-invasive the web is.
