Its the only thing making is a good choice, while people choose Brave,
TorBrowser or Librewolf instead. Come and join the discussion. Firefox needs to
have some courage. Get rid of all those fake funding by Ad companies. Block Ads
and trackers by default. Actually. Dont use damn Google as that contract will
run out anyways. Chrome is the Google browser. Firefox simply offering nothing
more (on the outside) than it. What do you think? Do you use Firefox out of the
Box? Or another browser?
I’m much happier to install one of the dozens of adblock addons, than to disable the built in one and still install an addon. Cuz that would mean bloat. I want to have the options to choose the adblock I have installed, and not only which one I use.
Builtin adblockers of other browsers, especially more commercial ones, have proven to be buyable by ad companies. They also fail, and have failed, on YouTube, where some addons still succeed.
One could argue Mozilla could encourage the users to actively choose an adblocker, but that would mean annoying popups and basically ads for adblockers.
Default FF with a few settings and addons is fine.
