Firefox Has Integrated Brave's Adblock Engine | Hacker News

Firefox has added a built-in adblocking engine, sparking debate over Mozilla’s browser strategy and privacy roadmap.

The move drew praise for Brave’s privacy model, but also skepticism that Firefox is still catching up to Chromium-based rivals.

Some users worry native adblocking could be a step toward weaker support for extensions like uBlock Origin and Manifest V2.

The change may reduce dependence on third-party blockers while shaping Firefox’s role as the leading non-Chromium browser.
