    And then you go to Settings / Privacy / Data and all you find is a link to the privacy policy and terms of service.

    So you search online and find several relevant posts on a support forum, such as:

    • I cannot find this setting
    • The “on” option is grayed out
    • I tried to set this to “on” but I got a cryptic error message saying to contact my system administrator

    All of them have been open for at least a year, hundreds of users clicked the “I also have this issue” button, and none of them have any useful replies.

      Just go to about:dont-grind_my-bones/39a667aa-b5c5-441c-9df9-0f75e3fc588d and configure it there. It’s so straightforward and obvious that it’s literally your fault if you didn’t notice it.

          Our telemetry data determined that no one was using it so we decided to drop that feature.

        That just happened to me!

        I was looking to solve a Linux issue and the Internet said

        It’s simple. just use “sudo ̪͊̽͊̀̎̇̄̆̾̅̊̕͝͝p̶̗̝̬̾̃̈́́̿͜ͅa̵̹̜̅s̴̠͉̩̖̣̹̞͇̰̻̦͛͂̽̈̅̒͗̉͋͘͝ṡ̵̺̮̫̲̙̙̹̻̹͉͎̣͌͆̔̐̓̊̽́̌̂̓̚̚̚ͅw̸̮̠̪̤̏̍͛̔̚o̶̡̫̟͖͎̣̫̹̰͕̰̝̻͎̽͛͛̃͒͂̆̋̂͜͠r̵͖̯̭̮͗͒̍̅̆͊̕͜͜͝͝d̷̛̛͖̮͍͉̣̙̀̐͂͌͊͌̃̌͂͑́̚͠ ̵̛̱̲̳̫̳̫̟͉͙̎̽̑̈́͌̎̑̀̒̕ͅ1̸̯͍͓̝̦̦̖͖͉͎̪̬̹̝̏͛́͋͗̒̓̇̾̄̍͠1̵̱̭̰̥̹̟̰̲̙͗̽̆́̀̐2̴̹̯̼̲͎̯͈̈́͠͠2̷̰̤̖͓̫͈̅̑́̂͋̈́̎̀̿͐̿̑͠3̴̫̩̫̻̕7̷͎̫̖̦̰̫̳̭͉͎̍͆̔̈̒͑̈́̈̚͝”

        How silly of me not to know that.

      My favorite is “I had to hack the website by making a userscript to access the option afforded to EU users and I have no idea if it actually affected anything”
