Starting in Firefox 138, Mozilla started gating Firefox Labs features behind data collection.

Mozilla had announced that some new Firefox features would be released via Firefox Labs.

It is now a few hours since I posted, and there is reason to celebrate – Mozilla is updating Firefox Labs to let people access features without needing to enable data collection.

It’s clear that Mozilla’s priorities have shifted. The damage is done. I get the same vibe as a frat boy that keeps getting turned down but won’t stop trying until the girl is drunk enough for him to get his way. The ethical reputation of the company is forever tarnished.
