Should ETP pref "Fix minor site issues" be enabled by default?
I noticed in the release notes for 144 that it mentions -
No longer enforcing the ETP pref "Fix minor site issues", as I haven't seen any site breakage with it disabled. privacy.trackingprotection.allow_list.convenience.enabled = false
But that doesn't seem to be included in the user.js. When I create a new profile with the user.js, "Fix minor site issues" is still enabled. Is this intended?
Thanks for reporting!
I didn't notice that "Fix minor site issues" was enabled by default in v.144. It didn't show as default for me in v.143 and before. But it is now on my Linux machine. I'll have to check Windows and macOS later.
We not going to enforce it moving forward, unless users report site issues with the pref being disabled. But now this poses a different question since it's enabled by default.
We could add user_pref("privacy.trackingprotection.allow_list.convenience.enabled", false); to Optional Hardening.
