1812594 - The remote settings for nsIURLQueryStrippingListService are initialized even when the feature is not enabled

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, defect, P3)

Description

[Pier Angelo Vendrame]

Bug 1719447 introduced an initialization function for nsIURLQueryStrippingListService.

However, if I understand correctly, the whole functionality is disabled by default, except for nightly.

Would it be possible not to call its init, and avoid fetching its remote settings, when privacy.query_stripping.enabled and privacy.query_stripping.enabled.pbmode are false?
