opt-out

Not two months ago I was downvoted to oblivion on this community when arguing with someone who claimed that any feature being opt-out is bloat and dark patterns.

Understand that people are speaking from frustration. Users are tired. We are sick of having things we don't want shoved down our throats and told that we want them. This is not just Firefox, this is most software.

Sure, but I'm talking about making an exception for just this one. But fine, it can be opt-in. I can't imagine why, though; I have it on literally every device and it rocks.
