Firefox built-in Adblocker

[Exists]

Firefox should include a built-in adblocker, just like what Brave, Opera, etc have done. This should be something all browsers should include

@alfredin es esa una excelente noticia , a si como la idea que hace años tuve de poner un traductor nativo , hoy en dia tenemos uno , esto es un echo que firefox escucha a sus usuarios y esto hacer que lo quiera mas , es un logoro de todos lo que deseamos mejorar cada dia mas este navegador 

This is excellent news, just like the idea that I had years ago of installing a native translator, today we have one, this is a fact that Firefox listens to its users and this makes them want it more, it is a logo of all of us that we want to improve this browser more and more every day.

Why's this message in Spanish ?

The way I have configured Firefox I don't see no ads on any websites especially YouTube. uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, CanvasBlocker, facebook container, Unhook and Enhancer for YouTube.

I'm staying with Firefox forever. I configured Firefox to provide extreme protection and privacy. uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, CanvasBlocker, facebook container, Unhook and Enhancer for YouTube. I don't see no ads on any websites especially YouTube. 

Br**e  is generally considered a legitimate, safe, and privacy-focused Chromium-based browser, but it has faced significant controversies over its crypto-centric business model and past unethical, but not illegal, practices. Concerns centre on Brave inserting referral links, pushing crypto ads, and having a 2.9/5 star rating on Trustpilot

[alfredin]

By default, Brave is far ahead of Firefox in terms of privacy and user data protection, and is comparable to LibreWolf, a fork of Firefox. In fact, Firefox should be just like its fork.

Please include https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust into firefox

I disagree. uBlock Origin is working very well, and there is no way a built in adblocker can block ads as well as uBlock Origin. And uBlock Origin is a very well known and trustworthy extension. I think it would be better if Firefox suggested installing the uBlock extension during setup.

Firefox Mobile has native extension support, unlike Chromium based mobile browsers. And Firefox is the only browser that supports Manifest V2 natively and thus continues to support uBlock Origin. Chromium based browsers lack these capabilities, which is why they tend to rely on built in adblockers. Firefox should utilize the potential of its permissive extension support better.

Maybe built in adblock would be good for Firefox on iOS only, or in case of ditching MV2 entirely.

edit: Fixed logical errors.

Finally, Mozilla is working on integrating an ad blocker into Firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2013888

Yes I agree. Mullvad Browser has uBlock Origin from setup.

Thanks

Hello, This would be a well integrated advertising blocker in the browser. Thank you

Brave and Opera etc. are based on Chromium. In August 2026 Google is going stop allowing browser extensions that block ads etc. which means money. I'm staying with Firefox and have no interest at all in browsers that are Chromium based.

Literally useless without an add blocker. There is being built in one on the desktop version, why can't something similar be applied to the mobile?

Good morning, the, community of Mozilla is thanked for the gradual incorporation of the ad blocker starting with IOS, it is a nice task that they listen to their users, even so I know that it is based on the easy list, and although in certain scenarios they work they are still inefficient for certain models of aggressive advertising, Firefox must implement a system of blocking ads by levels that the user chooses from the first moment that installs Firefox

example if you want to activate it or not

what type of protection you want

standard (blocks much of the ads, less on youtube, press, and sites with google-sponsored ads or non-invasive third parties)

medium (blocks most ads, pop up ads, some from youtube, press, and some aggressive ads)

Advanced ( blocks all ads in full)

good thank you!
