≡ privacy.services API
Hint
The privacy.services API is inherited from Firefox, and its primary documentation is maintained by Mozilla at MDN. Thunderbird implements only the subset of functions, events, and types listed here. The MDN pages may provide further details and examples, but they may also reference features that are not supported in Thunderbird.
Use the browser.privacy API to control usage of the features in the browser that can affect a user's privacy.

Hint
Request permissions only when needed. Unnecessary requests may result in rejection during ATN review.
