Also I’d rather there was a separate option for additional privacy than it be the default.

People who want the extra privacy can usually figure out what they need and how to get it. The average person will just switch back to chrome when websites break. They wont be able to figure out which settings to toggle off in order to fix the site

Keep Firefox useful for most people while also building more privacy friendly features.

If it’s something people SHOULD be using, have a popup explaining it and let people decide

Could be familiarity? I saw an article go by recently about how projects that aren’t on GitHub suffer from lack of contributions. Although that matters more for smaller projects, Mozilla is a beast and could probably pull people off GitHub if it wanted to.
