They make it optional.

To be real, though, somewhere close to 0% (rounded to the third decimal place) of users would agree to grossly inefficient cryptomining in the browser. As a web funding model it is terrible and is almost always akin to malware. It certainly costs the user much more in electricity costs than it will ever benefit web publishers.

Mozilla? Optional protection? Don't trigger my memories.

They also made it optional to block unsigned extensions, which you could turn off if you wanted to tweak one to fix a bug because it wasn't being maintained fast enough.

Like, if you believed in the whole Open Source/tinkering philosophy, or something, which Mozilla may or may not care about.

Then, they started disallowing it in 2016.

And they turned off key remapping too.
