Disable push services, testing Linux (Final)

[Grumpus]

It appears to me there are far too many google user content ips'/servers trying to pass on information or connect or whatever.
They all appear to be using push services in order to bypass software firewalls and belong to Mozilla.
Granted it's been considered these may be emergency corrections or possibly site verification but is it as simple as turning off notifications.
It's easy enough to find the items in about:config and there are a few posts on push which unfortunately do not draw any conclusion.

OK, so I can't tell yet but it seems so far disabling push services hasn't had an effect on simple browsing.
Best guess, no guess, will keep it off and see how things are for a week or two.

So far there appears to be little difference in function yet less traffic from ISP business servers, the ones with the ads and trackers.
There's still some annoying google user content ips which come from Mozilla but appear to be reduced.
This may be relative to the advertising of the system on line as component to the push services.
The Jury is still out

Edit:1:52 11-7 - Does not appear to stop some of the IPs which are troublesome.

It does not appear to cause any real harm to have it disabled.
There's still an obnoxious IP (34.160.144.191) which is a google user content which appears to belong to Mozilla but much of the garbage ad traffic is reduced and an Amazon based tracker which very likely comes from my ISP and is useless after it's blocked.
Corrupted Amazon servers appear to be the most reduced with some of the cloudfront also reduced.
The actual identity of some of these appears foreign (not US) coming from dead sites which are being utilized for whatever reason.
Seems more like house cleaning is in order but push only adds to the misuse.
For what it's worth, none of the notifications from these bogus or corrupted sites have ever been visited so it makes the validity of the pushed notifications more suspect.
If some one feels this is in error it might be good to make the case for Push but it seems more business and BS oriented and is a nuisance.
Edit: 11-17-2022 - No problem updating current extensions.

Note that Mozilla has been moving some of its internal cloud services from Amazon servers (AWS/EC2) to Google servers (GCP/GCS).

If it's not jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Can Google stop the useless and disguised trackers or scrapers as adverts which appear to use push.
Seems to me, and I could be wrong, the Internet is not what some other persons idea of content is which interferes with what the user's idea is.
Were a search for foreign hotels be made then the ad should appear but not when someone is in a completely different train of thought or context.
Most of the blocked Amazon IPs are fraudulent or useless.
