And specifically about removing a single SDK, not removing ad-tracking altogether (which is kind of implied from the title). Mozilla has been trying for years to monetize Firefox through ads, so I don't think people should be reading into this change too much, especially since it happened without any kind of announcement. If it were a pro-privacy decision, the marketing people would be milking this move for all they can.

I would love for Mozilla to allow private tabs without whole private window... (I know about multi-tab containers but they have their issues)

or LibreWolf? I wonder which is better for the "normal" person who just wants a more privacy first ff?

I think it was removed from Focus for iOS much longer ago https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-ios/pull/1720
