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 know everyone likes to bash ff, but it's still a great project.

It's still much better than chrome and most other mainstream browser and it works.

All the "better" options require serious effort to use. Sites will break, features you used will be removed, and so on.
