Just want to inform you that I decided to disable TFO by default in 
commit 7a945d31aeb34fc73cf86a494673ae97e069d84d.

The main reasons are
  - user tracking via TFO cookies (only under certain circumstances)
  - reported issues due to middle boxes and firewalls not supporting TFO 
properly
  - browser vendors disable TFO by default (mostly due to the above reasons)

With the decision of Fedora 40 to use Wget2 as a replacement for Wget, 
this long overdue decision had to be made.
