No, that setting is not enabled:

Doesn’t meta allow read-only even if you’re _not_ logged in? Our site doesn’t allow you to do _anything_ until you’ve logged in. In order to fully repro, I’d need another site that requires you to be logged in for all transactions (and preferably logged in via SSO).
