Cool. But I alreasy had everything I wanted in Firefox, but one thing. Can I please have a non-buggy backdrop-filter: blur enabled and working by default in my Fitefox?

I believe that property is still in the draft phase. I'm sure they'll implement it properly soon.

PiP is one of those things that never seemed particularly useful to me until I started using it, and now it’s one of my favourite features

Please don’t derail threads like this. Your comment is so generic that it could be posted to any of a hundred different posts completely unchanged, which means it has nothing to do with the post at all. Write a blog post about it and post that to HN if you want your feature request to receive attention.

Good to see that in last few releases, no needless UI changes were introduced (which were causing dramas in the past).

The technical details of Total Cookie Protection are going to be of interest to any web dev: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Pri...

It's not enabled by default (it's part of Strict privacy controls), but I think the heuristics it's using might be copied by other browser or extensions implementing similar features. I don't love the amount of "heuristics-based" features being added to browsers, since they're not always easy to discover as a developer, but it's certainly better than a whitelist/blacklist system like Google"s used for certain features. The console.log entries that article mentions should help a bit with debugging as well.
