(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, task)

Description

[Martin Balfanz [:mbalfanz]]

We are trying to understand the usage of always-on private browsing mode. It would be great if we could add the pref browser.privatebrowsing.autostart to the tracked user prefs here https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/telemetry/app/TelemetryEnvironment.sys.mjs#210-363
