That's the problem with Firefox these days: The management has been so bad that the market share tanked and now market actors can afford to block FF users who are privacy conscious without risking a big outcry. A sign of things to come…

In fairness, Strict Tracking Protection is not a Firefox problem; it is very clearly a Firefox feature. The problem is the sites. X is not really an important site anyway.

all x/twitter links have been login-walled for me for quite some time now, probably since around the time Elon took over, so I just stopped clicking any links or visiting the site entirely... since I literally can't if I wanted to anyways (I refuse to make an account and nitter stopped working).

It’s like asking why do you refuse to start smoking cigarettes

Elon is pursuing people he doesn't like and using X data to do so.

I don't think most people in the world would agree with your definition of important. Perhaps you believe that's a good thing anyways. Not sure where I was going with that.

I, for one, don't make accounts on services with a hate speech rate as high as current Twitter. I'd consider an account an indirect endorsement.

What is wrong with respecting people's right to have opinions you don't like? Isn't that what everyone wanted?

Free speech is hate speech according to some

Edit: I just committed hate speech!
