Following the Chrome announcement for https://blog.chromium.org/2017/11/expan ... n-web.html I decided to create a ticket for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1416345
Rather rely on extensions such as uBO, a native solution would be nice.
Should Firefox have a built in content blocker?

problem with Native Adblockers IMO is that you dont actually have control over it like you do with Ubo or any other blocker.mdew wrote:Following the Chrome announcement for https://blog.chromium.org/2017/11/expan ... n-web.html I decided to create a ticket for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1416345

Not a list, but a browser detection if its being redirected. This is what Chrome seems to be doingICQ5 wrote: problem with Native Adblockers IMO is that you dont actually have control over it like you do with Ubo or any other blocker.

i did comment in your Bug. a Linux only Browser called Epiphany has had a Native Blocker in it for i think since 3.22, however its a PITA as the only real way to to it is via gsettings. . my problem with a Native blocker maybe that the developers may allow some hidden Ads to appear. whereas atleast allowing users to install Adblock or Ubo they have full control of what they wanna block etc., i just dont thin a Native Blocker is the way to go. i dont think Firefox should do everything what Chrome does.mdew wrote:Not a list, but a browser detection if its being redirected.

Re: Should Firefox have a built in content blocker?
Firefox has a fair internal blocker - not sure if its only in Nightly builds or if its in productions builds..
go to about:preferences#privacy and scroll down to Tracking Protection - Default is 'only in Private windows', Check the 'Always' box to have it in normal non-PB browser as well.

I'm trying running with only the built-in tracking protection, after reading this blog post. I enabled Strict protection.TheVisitor wrote:Firefox has a fair internal blocker - not sure if its only in Nightly builds or if its in productions builds..

Re: Should Firefox have a built in content blocker?
thats tracking protection based on diconnect, nothing similar to an ad/content blocker.Firefox has a fair internal blocker
go to about:preferences#privacy
decent filtering with ublock.
