Random thought: Linux has a higher market share than Firefox if stat counter is to be believed in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Or they just have differente priorities and preferences, you know. THe same reason they use Linux instead of $SOMEOTHEROS.

Nope, blocklist can be updates dynamically.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads in c/technology@lemmy.world

Same. The adblocker in Brave is great, its been ages since I ditched uBo and I've still to see a single ad. Built-in adblockers are good, because Google has no power there. Firefox, instead, its still a thing exclusively because of uBO i.e., the work of an external, unpaid developer. The say uBO disappears, is the day FF dies. Mozilla is so busy wasting time and money on unrelated stuff and huge CEO paychechs that they have had no the time to add and inbuilt advlocker to FF, which instead has useless crap such as Pockets and an opt-out ad-measurement tool which nobody asked for.
