CRLite is currently enabled in telemetry-only mode on non-mobile early beta and nightly builds. Telemetry-only mode double-checks all CRLite results (both "revoked" and "not revoked") against OCSP. In Bug 1753071 we added a new "check-revocations" mode, which only double-checks "revoked" results. This mode gives us most of the privacy and performance benefits of CRLite without any risk of mistakenly blocking access to a site. We should make check-revocations mode the default.

Note that CRLite filter downloads are only enabled by default on non-mobile early beta and nightly builds (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/630b197be00e3df3f2e3fe995bf31ca50d146eaa/modules/libpref/init/all.js#199-203). So changing the default mode here will only affect non-mobile early beta and nightly builds.
