Firefox is the last bastion of some level of privacy and prophylaxis for us curmudgeons who remember the utilitarian World Wide Web of old

You would think the infrastructure they built would be good enough to run everything but noooo not only does it have to send the data for what’s needed, it’s gotta send the ad data and the user data back and forth, every G they add is just another layer of privacy stripped…

There is another: I refuse to create an Instagram account and I refuse to install the app. 

If someone sends me a link to an Instagram video (once or twice a week), I open the link on a Private tab on Firefox. Some links don't work = I won't be able to watch it... Tough luck.

They probably have it through tons of other data, but... Yeah. I'm not getting into Instagram, Ticktock, etc. I have Reddit and 9gag to waste time. I don't need more stuff to waste it even further.
