Another thing to turn off in FireFox. Already have WebRTC, WebGL, WASM, ServiceWorkers etc disabled. Most sites are so much faster without all this junk

I'm with you. It's obnoxious to have to disable a long list of things with every install, but if Firefox didn't support something everyone else does they risk driving people who want that functionality away. I don't mind the bloat as long as it's easily disabled and they go out their way to notify users of the risks when they don't have it disabled by default.

I want firefox to keep giving people the option to do whatever they want, I just don't want them forcing anything on people, making them more vulnerable by default, or not being clear about things they've added support for.

How is wasm worse than JS?
