    Yea, yea.

    Then why didn’t you announce it with fanfare, instead of saying nothing and enabling it automatically?

    What is it the anti-encryption crowd say again? “If you’ve got nothing to hide…”

      Because Mozilla is bad a communication, often.

        While this is true, this feature is still a good one to have enabled.

          Its good to have other people who have enabled it. As long as their is no way the current trackers can detect ive disabled it.

            It doesn’t share information about you in the first place, and nothing happens at all if you block ads.

      Isn’t this all because it was in a nightly version (ie not properly rolled out yet?)
