Details

(Whiteboard: [necko-triaged])

To not waste metered data, we shouldn't load early hint preloads, because they might not get used in the final response.

When early hint phase2 lands, we only preload early hints if the configs network.early-hints.enabled true and network.preload true (responsible for Link-Header and Link-Element preloads) are set.

It seems to me like we do have preload enabled in Fenix. So we should decide whether we want to disable early hint preloads, all preloads or keep as is.
