Not just that, but why would Mozilla pick the winner here? Everyone complains about the side effects of default search engines, let's not do it again with ad-blockers!
And anyway, their Google contract certainly prevents them from doing shipping ad-blocking by default.
because that was the original promise with extensions! contribute without the red tape, and if enough people like it, we will incorporate.
heck dev tools started as someone cloning IE dev tool as an extension... there were two... the IE clone and a dalvik debugger... mozilla had no problem picking the winer and incorporating in the official build.
> their google contract
stop normalizing this! they officially denie this arrangement exist! so they cannot use it as an excuse.
