I see this as them giving companies a more privacy-preserving alternative to tracking. And just another privacy setting to opt out for us.

Instead of a reactive social media post, here's how it works.

The only real alternative to this conflict of interest between companies and customers is an independent browser.

A more privacy-preserving alternative to tracking does not sound privacy-preserving to me.

Moot point. Librewolf won't exist without Firefox.

What are you talking about? No one called the existence of Firefox into question.
