Too locked down for the average user.
It is? I didn't notice anything. I suppose by virtue of having even heard of it I'm not the average user.
Some websites don't work correctly, due to the strict settings.
I guess I don't view those types of sites on my Pc (probably on my phone).
Its a really really simple change to make them work again and iirc you can set a profile but it is mildly technical which means wayyy too difficult for average people
It genuinely hurts my soul that this is a complete argument.
The idea that users could or should have preferences - to be responsible to opt (in or out) in any capacity is an unreachable goal.
It's frustrating that a lazy or evil developer can so easily convinve the masses to give up privacy simply by dangling a shiny just outside the default security safeguards.
