gears

I was curious as well so I looked at the git tree. I'm not familiar with Firefox code, but I'm assuming I found the list:

pref("extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains", 
"accounts-static.cdn.mozilla.net,accounts.firefox.com,
addons.cdn.mozilla.net,addons.mozilla.org,
api.accounts.firefox.com,content.cdn.mozilla.net,
discovery.addons.mozilla.org,install.mozilla.org,
oauth.accounts.firefox.com,profile.accounts.firefox.com,
support.mozilla.org,sync.services.mozilla.com");

From here

So it looks like it's mostly to do with the account system of Firefox. I'm not sure why their websites would need special protection, but whatever. It's not malicious, for now

That's great that you've fostered a love for reading, I believe that's an incredibly important thing for a young mind.

But i also don't think not allowing video games at all isn't necessary. I grew up reading and playing online games, it's possible to ensure a balance. And today online games are a huge part of the socializing that happens. It sucks to sit at the lunch table and have your friends talk about conversations they had that you couldn't be a part of.

No one said you had to use the largest instance out there

Same, it's why I made this account. Maybe I should have joined programming.dev, being a software engineer myself lol

Idk, a lot of people's habits were forcibly broken by reddit. I'm stuck here if I don't wanna use their app.
