Is this behavior expected? I would imagine it would be a privacy violation in a multi-user system. I thought they had some sort of encryption for hiding the sites that I visit.
BTW, FF does not do this on private mode. But still it is concerning, that any program can know about the sites I visit just by looking at ~/.mozilla/profile/storage/default.
But wouldn’t it be better if they chose to obfuscate it. Are there any inherent disadvantage in doing so?
I mean, lots of problems rise from this from interoperability, debug ability, removing control & ownership of your own data…etc
Obfuscating the data means you no longer have access to it, you cannot integrate with it, …etc This is a problem for a project that promotes itself for openness and compatibility.
Firefox should not be solving your user level access permission problems, that’s not it’s job 🤦
