yupp, and i hate that. i use a firefox version that don't supports private fields, and because a common js lib uses them a lot of websites suddenly stopped working for me just because of this bs. instead of just using a normal variable they use private fields and kill a ton of older browsers by doing so. and most website owners don't care so asking them just leads to them saying "just upgrade bro".

    Why? I feel like a browser is something you'd definitely want to keep up to date for security reasons if given the option.

    are implementing more and more forced features you can’t disable

    Not even through about:config?

    nope, not even with about:config.

    usually it starts with "we let you disable it still with about:config", but then in later versions they kill it off so the variables don't do anything anymore. then they remove it completly in even later versions.
