WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it.
"No telemetry" -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.
Found out this by having @littlesnitch@mastodon.obdev installed.

That section covers your concern
What I don't get is why they don't allow users to decide if they want to connect to Mozilla or not with an option in the settings. Libre means being free (to choose in this case), not being forced.
~~They do. It’s called Deny and it’s right there in the screenshot.~~ never mind. I see it was me who misunderstood.
@dohpaz42 @corvus
You can also easily disable in about:config
Which setting disables it?
dom.push.enabled = false
@smpl @corvus and if you want to be double plus sure, set pushServer to “none” instead of the default wss:// address
