Most browsers don’t allow you to easily toggle on and off certain privacy features on a per-site basis

I don't know what "certain features" are. LibreWolf lets me easily enable WebGL on per-site basis and uBlock could always do that anyway. I don't need to touch anything else.

Origin is free on Linux.

Yes, and you can also toggle everything off via config. That does not matter, it's still a scummy move that should be ridiculed. How, exactly, is a dashboard that toggles some settings on or off is worth 60 dollars? It's not "paying for convenience" it's a tax on tech incompetency.
