Firefox flagging supabase

I just received this from my browser application, in the developer console:

hzcddohaebgygypamkuh.supabase.co” has been classified as a bounce tracker. If it does not receive user activation within the next 3,600 seconds it will have its state purged.

I don't think accessing supabase via their javascript library should be tripping this. I hope this does affect my customers' experience.

I was on a website for Met Opera, buying tickets and suddenly a widget appeared on the lower left corner that says: Opt-Out Signal Honored. Not only did I Opt Out, but I no longer can navigate the website, and there is no visible way to cancel this. Please help. It does not appeaer on other web pages, or other browsers. What is this? I've tried locating it in settings, and settings does not have that privacy option checked. How can I remove it? thank you, Anne Marie Mascia

Since the last update, some pictures do not show. For instance, in the News and Features Digest email that I receive, when I click on a headline to read article, any pictures do not show. It is just a big, blank, space. Also, for instance, some pictures on accuweather.com do not show, also on weatherbug.com. Even if I turn it off, the pictures do not show up. It seems the lastest update overwrote the shield in front of the address bar that I had set under Firefox settings, Privacy & Security, Enhanced Tracking Protection. I was able to turn off the shield and see what was being removed/blocked. Now that does not work. I understand you try to make Firefox as safe as possible by adding new features. However. I would like to remove whatever setting that shield has now installed with the latest update. I hope this makes sense.

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-turn-do-not-track-feature :

> Many sites do not respect this indication of a person's privacy preferences and, in some cases, it can reduce privacy.

This really hurts to see from Mozilla.

You could have linked to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track

Why did this policy change? I am aware of GPC: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control

When I dye my hair in 5 colors, I'm aware that can reduce my privacy. I'm not trying to fit in. I'm trying to make a statement. To put a flag in the ground! Like your logo!

If you are going to make this sort of decision again, can you

  • please*

not tell me it's for my own good because of privacy?

Can you just say the policy was changed next time? No elaboration is fine.

Please!

For Valentine's Day I would love it if Mozilla could let me set the DNT bit to 1 again. I would love you so much. I still do.

I'm trying to disable the tracking on my laptop. All this tracking is getting way too personal for me! When I go to Privacy & Security in Settings, I only get the option to Manage Exceptions where you have to enter certain website names for exceptions to privacy.or tracking. I want to disable all tracking as it's an invasion of my privacy. Any help will be appreciated and I am not a computer "techie" so specific instructions will be needed. TY

If you choose to start blasting ai everywhere I will look to switch away as needed.

I use Firefox because it has been the only option where at the very least I can opt out of this ai slop bullshit. Because it is the only place not feeling my data through a dipshit filter right into Microsoft and Google's ad services.

Don't make me have to drop you.

Why is generative AI being forced on us?

Generative AI relies on the blatant and flagrant violation of user privacy to train its own language models and supply users with its own stolen, bastardized input. It slows down the browser its built into with no benefit, forcing its users to jump through ridiculous hoops and workarounds to disable its resource-gobbling features. If we wanted this, we would swap to browsers like Chrome, Edge, or Opera. If this snake-oil abomination that dares to proclaim itself some sort of advanced "technology" continues to be enforced on us, I, and many others, will simply opt for a different browser that does not enforce this abomination upon its users; of which there are plenty.
