WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it.
"No telemetry" -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.
Found out this by having @[email protected] installed.

@OH3CUF @librewolf I wonder how Mullvad Browser would fare in the same circumstance
@JP3REM @librewolf @JP3REM @librewolf Very badly. I killed the app after 9 requests by just opening the app (and nothing else) and it kept going on. Probably the connections to IP-addresses are Tor-nodes but who knows what they are? (can only attach 4 images in one toot).
Same thing here; telemetry for Mozilla and for many plugin developers (I couldn't attach here but at least three call-homes for the plugins based on the server name).
@mullvadnet
@OH3CUF @librewolf @mullvadnet Just to clarify, that's just opening the browser without any tabs or 'home page'?
@JP3REM @librewolf @mullvadnet Yes.
