For how long are they gonna allow us to do that?

I don't know. Though, to my mind, Firefox has been all about tight defaults for everyone paired with a not-so-obvious opt-out for those who really need it.

That said I do understand the concern here. The page about quarantined domains doesn't provide much details and it's quite vague.

1st thing to do on every release from now on.

This is a step too far for me. My device, my choice of browser and I am adult enough to make my own decisions.

Oh come on, it's still a free and open source browser. As seen in the other comments, it's a badly worded security feature for firefox internal pages and mozilla pages.

It's not going to kill adblock, it won't send your data everywhere and it can be disabled through an option as well as by simply building firefox yourself.

Everybody should stop being so negative towards open source developers.

Did everyone in this thread drink the conspiracy theory kool-aid or something? The accusations here are wild.
