      People overwhelmingly kept autosave off. People just don’t like changing settings. I’m hoping Mozilla knows this.

      EDIT: Typo

        Because OOBE is better than tinkering. Normies will stay on OOBE. We either tinker or move to another project.

      The only one I turned off was the sidebar, because that’s kinda dumb. The rest seem semi useful.

        Left translate on. Everything else off. That’s one of my main use cases for AI. As long as it gets me close, whatever.

      Because the vast majority don’t read release notes these days?

      I have enough trouble keeping with the IRL release notes of how my democracy is falling apart. Forger checking them on my browser.

        You don’t have to read the release notes. It literally puts it front and center in your face the first time you launch it after this update is applied.
