WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it.

"No telemetry" -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.

Found out this by having @[email protected] installed.

@TheWorldRolledMe "LibreWolf also maintains an open WebSocket towards Mozilla's push server to check wether you have received push notifications from websites you have subscribed to."

An app that is developed privacy in mind should never connect to anywhere without consent.

Also, I really don't need any freakin' push notifications from websites. I'm not "subscribing" to anything - or never will. What is that even - I didn't know I can subscribe through Mozilla to websites. Weird.
