Attached: 2 images Did you know? Despite claiming to block *all* cross-site cookies out of the box, Firefox automatically allows Google to use them in your browser should you log in to one of their services (I only use YouTube, but I'd assume it's the same with anything that needs a Google account). The browser only lets you know about this once it happens, and it's on you to notice the permissions icon appearing in the URL bar. There *is* a link to a paragraph on a help page explaining this behaviour, but it seemingly goes unmentioned pretty much everywhere else on the internet. Shouldn't we be sounding the alarm about the lack of transparency here? #firefox

This surprised me, especially considering Firefox’s stance on privacy. I was even more surprised that this is done without consent. If this is for usability, Firefox should at least warn the user before this happens.
