General Discussion • Re: Firefox 149 bundles content-blocking engine adblock-rust

For those wondering, looks like Waterfox took this road before Firefox.

If Waterfox has a native adblocker and it is coming, I'd rather use and trust Watefox's native adblocker than Firefox's native adblocker when "push comes to shove" if I am stuck with Manifest 3.

For me, I "need" to know only one thing. And that is if Waterfox's native adblocker will block all of those awful irrelevant ads in YouTube because I sure do not trust Firefox's native adblocker since Mozilla lies in the same bed with Google (money wise).

It's the same adblocker sadly, and Waterfox gets their money from Startpage (of System1's ad platform company), which is a google search frontend.
