Don't they have exactly that already for telemetry? You can go to the preferences and turn it off instead of using about:config

Apparently this still leaves a boatload of telemetry options switched On.

I had the Preferences option Off for years and yet there was a laundry list of telemetry options enabled in about:config.

This is shady as fuck if you pardon my French. Completely unacceptable.

No. They even install an additional telemetry service that runs independently of Firefox.

Only on Windows I believe. Every time Firefox is updated, it installs back the "Firefox Default Browser Agent" in the Task Scheduler.

And FWIW it’s not just a “telemetry service.”
