My Firefox says it now has Total Cookie Protection, and at least the notification about it wasn't there before. Some other comment I read said that it was part of the Strict privacy setting before (i.e. not the default), but if you want more of a source then that, I lost the comment.

Edit: I was reading about this on a different copy of this post: https://lemmy.world/post/19163486

Oh, that makes sense. Setting it to "strict" mode may be the thing I vaguely remember doing to make sure it was active in 2022.
