Key words "at this time". In a few versions maybe they take that away and you can't block ads ok YouTube because Google threatened them.
Building the capability and hiding the options in the about config is opening the door to a lot of bad decisions later on.
- hexage1814 3y agoIt's also worth notice that Mozilla, for instance, removed Bypass Paywalls Clean https://www.ghacks.net/2023/04/20/mozilla-removes-bypass-paywalls-clean-extension-from-its-add-repository/ https://www.ghacks.net/2023/04/20/mozilla-removes-bypass-pay...
- LegitShady 3y agoI'm less concerned about that. Mozilla doesn't have to host it. The author can offer it elsewhere.

- LegitShady 3y agoI had no idea this was implemented. Yikes.
- mcpackieh 3y ago> In a few versions maybe they take that away and you can't block ads ok YouTube because Google threatened them. And since they already built the requisite system needed to fulfill Google's demand, they won't be able to claim it would be too much work to implement. They're setting themselves up to readily comply with the demand when it comes.
- kuratkull 3y agoI am also inclined to believe this will be the case. This feature might be sold to sites that want to disable eg. ad blockers. I am a FF user, but the last decade is making me very concerned.
