This add-on has been given Recommended status, yet the developer was blindsided by Mozilla's decision to reinvent the concept:

This is certainly not the right way to encourage developers to spend their time advancing Firefox if they then suddenly find themselves facing “in-house competition.”

It would be neat, I guess, but people who want an ad blocker outnumber you a thousand to one. I think that should take priority if we're going to go down the "make an extension more secure by including it in the browser" route.

Ironically, uBlock Origin Lite also got temporarily blacklisted by Mozilla, causing the developer to drop Firefox support for it entirely.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
