Firefox now has basic ad-blocking built-in using Disconnect's lists, which is very cool.
I use ublock in combination with privacy badger. In ublock I block all third-party requests and enable sites one by one. I had to leave Safari on my laptop with only the basic ad-blocking since my wife can't use my Firefox's ultra hard blocking situation.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoI searched but couldn't find anything suggesting they're ad-blocking by default -- what they do have, eg https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/01/30/firefox-makes-ad-tracker-dodging-easier-for-privacy-conscious-users/ https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/01/30/firefox-makes-ad..., is ability to block trackers. But it's only default enabled in "private" mode. Could you backup your statement? Mozilla got a huge sum of money from Google last time I checked (a few months ago), so it would be amazing if they were allowed by Google to enable ad-blocking as a default (unless there was whitelisting that included Google).
- mosselman 8y agoThe information is right in the article you posted. I never used the word 'default'.
