I don't know what "certain features" are. LibreWolf lets me easily enable WebGL on per-site basis and uBlock could always do that anyway. I don't need to touch anything else.
Yes, and you can also toggle everything off via config. That does not matter, it's still a scummy move that should be ridiculed. How, exactly, is a dashboard that toggles some settings on or off is worth 60 dollars? It's not "paying for convenience" it's a tax on tech incompetency.
Would you like to know or were just just wanting to be contrarian?
It's not. And its not supposed to be. Its to fund the development of the browser.
