    As long as it is open source, it doesn’t matter. Forks like Librewolf will disable it.

      It does matter a bit.

      Librewolf devs depend on firefox development. They just rip out the stupid bits. They’re not prepared to maintain a hard fork. They could still decide to do it, but it would take more community involvement.

      It increases the workload for fork devs the more crap they have to remove from upstream and the more the fork deviates from upstream.
