Mozilla can do whatever they want and Google won’t stop sending them money.

So... What are they waiting for? Are they going to rely on gorhill for ever?

You want Mozilla choosing what gets blocked?

Sure, as long as we still have options to disable their blocker and use a 3rd party one if we choose. It's astounding how many users don't bother to install an adblocker and it would be a massive improvement for those users who don't know better.

There's been more than one occasion that I've used a family member's PC and they have Firefox installed without a single extension, they didn't even know that extensions existed.
