I'm pretty happy about dropping that stuff, as I don't consider web views or web-view alikes to be "modern", I just consider them to be worse.

Browser choice screens are back on the menu. Most notably, the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) will require them from 2024. But lawmakers and regulators in many other jurisdictions have also been looking at choice screens alongside other interventions to address deep-seated competition issues in browsers and browser engines (explored in more detail in our 2022 ‘Five Walled Gardens’ report).
Yeah, there is no automoderator here, so things are going to be a little cumbersome to start.
This specifically will not work on desktop, as beta is built to replicate the release version.

It does seem unnecessary. A former r/firefox moderator built this one ages ago which works for me: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/toggle-pin-tab/
We don't recommend pre-built user.js files contributed by the community.
You can always look at my guide if you like, I suppose.

I think you can work that out for yourself. Good luck!
With desktop Linux trailing both Windows and macOS in popularity, there’s nothing unexpected or inherently malicious about this, and the point of the previous few paragraphs is not to complain about the state of Firefox for Linux or to suggest Mozilla transfers precious resources from the Windows and macOS versions to the Linux version. While I obviously wouldn’t complain if they did so, it wouldn’t make much sense. The real reason I’m highlighting these issues is that if Firefox for Linux is already treated as a third wheel today, with Mozilla’s current financial means and resources, what would happen if Mozilla saw a drastic reduction in its financial means and resources?
Clearly, Google would cut the macOS and Windows versions of Chrome and begin to deploy Chromebooks and Chrome for Linux exclusively.
