What are the domains, and how do you find them? Can I use a wildcard like *.mozilla.net and still firefox/thunderbird works?

Thanks!

Firefox automatically updates to install new privacy-abusing features like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40974112. So getting all the settings right once isn’t enough—you need to be constantly vigilant.

Like you said, a fork is a much better option, since they take care of stripping out the user-hostile nonsense for you. I like Librewolf.
