Starting in Firefox 138, Mozilla started gating Firefox Labs features behind data collection.

Mozilla had announced that some new Firefox features would be released via Firefox Labs.

It is now a few hours since I posted, and there is reason to celebrate – Mozilla is updating Firefox Labs to let people access features without needing to enable data collection.

I guess, but it's just so tiring to keep getting collectively outraged about every little thing. And sometimes it does have the opposite effect, i.e. it doesn't necessarily work.

(Although I don't think you could stir up an effective outrage campaign that would result in StartPage getting added, but I'll concede the larger point that Connect posts aren't automatically added to the TODO list.)
