From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don’t like that, this just paves the way to removing ad blockers, just like they’re doing in chrome
Seems like it's intended to stop things like data collection on banking sites, and it can be overridden. Very little documentation on it though, so we'll have to see more in practice.
There is however a way of reverting this (for now?):
Load about:config in the Firefox address bar.
Click Accept the Risk and Continue, if the prompt appears.
Search for extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled.
Set it to FALSE.
restart Firefox.

It’s just big tech trying to get it greedy fingers on money anyway they can! I understand it costs money to run websites, but it’s getting to the point where a lot of sites and ad revenue setups are starting to have more ads then actual content, like back in the 80’s and 90’s. And do t forget about the scripts that track everything up do so they can pinpoint ads that will peel to you, at so they think, based on browsing and search history. Hell even brave is starting to put ads and trackers in its browser
What universe do you live in where Mozilla is "Big Tech?"
