I believe the settings to disable this on Librewolf are set by default…

The data being collected is meant to enhance the appeal of Firefox as an ad platform for customers who might want to buy paid placements in Firefox Suggest. Perhaps they also consider it useful as a trial balloon to test the reaction it gets before heading further in that direction. The reaction it gets will not be good.Looks like I may finally be trying out Librewolf.

I would not mind if LibreWolf would be based on Firefox ESR (Like Tor and Mullvad browser are). The speed of the amount of new features added to Firefox is something I can do without.

I might be a bit out of the loop but I assumed the LibreWolf team already removes questionable code when building their fork?

Yes. My point was that by using Firefox ESR as base the update cycle would be much slower which I would welcome.

But what would be the benefit of that?

I find Firefox ESR much more relaxing to use than the version that springs new features and bugs on you randomly throughout the year.
