Rationale: there are currently open issues like ghostery/broken-page-reports#873; we need to find solutions before we can safely enable it again.

Note "dry-run" mode applies to Firefox only. Chromium-based browsers are on Manifest V3 (where blocking webRequestAPI is not available). And on Safari, urlReporting (including the anti-tracking subsystem) is disabled completely (mostly because of quirks in the APIs).
