> GeckoView exposes a wide range of privacy that's is a fallacy and you know it! There are ZERO settings exposed to the end user. Those settings are exposed to the App embedding geckoviewer. In other words, the privacy settings are in the hands of the actor who benefit from Advertising by tracking the user! > GeckoView also exposes a WebExtension API again to the app. |

This thread is discussing GeckoView, which exposes extensive privacy settings.
There is a (hopefully growing) amount of apps based on GeckoView, which will make use and/or expose different variations of GeckoView settings to the user, depending on the purpose and target audience of the app.
You might disagree, but, for example, I consider the level of detail in privacy settings provided by Fenix (Nightly) to be a good balance between user control and comprehensibility.

Again, taking Fenix (Nightly) as an example, the GeckoView WebExtension API is used to provide a growing selection of add-ons, many of which are aimed at the privacy-conscious user, including uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript and Privacy Badger.
