They should make this the default.

Or a setting that makes it the default.

I don't like any software I use to destroy data (even tracking data) without my say so.

Hmm, I agree with you 100%, but power of defaults is how big companies get average consumers. Maybe Firefox should make it default with a setting to turn it on?

A setting titled "allow copying of tracking data", a lot of people won't allow.

Fight fire with fire.

This just:

  1. Encourages companies to try to work around it

  2. More importantly, possibly breaks important functionality

It's like saying GDPR encourages companies to try work around data protection, so it should not be implemented.
