In previous versions of abrowser, by default abrowser is asking to save passwords. Is there a reason specific to v130 to remove that behaviour, or was it some todo thing already before that is just done now?
The reason it became part of the default behavior is because it landed like any other feature on Firefox, not something the Trisquel team actively promoted, lately we are taking the time to go further and check stuff into more detail, maybe you have noticed that in the maintenance work done in the last couple of years.
By default Mozilla thinks that if you enable store password on your browser, then by default you also want Firefox Relay service in it. Since it is a Mozilla-run service then they argue is best to have it enabled by default, no need for you to enable it.
This is what rise a concern point for me, as it could mean that any "feature" could be used to "promo-force" services into the users and if the feature already have debatable security risks, I think this v130 release having several changes (coming since v128) would be a good starting point to avoid promoting it in particular.
On the other hand, I would like to rise the awareness on Mozilla's Firefox approach on their design, and also bring awareness to improve the security when it comes to what options are better to store sensitive data, finally, as I keep reiterating, the feature is still there, anyone can use it if they want to, they are just one click away.
