No, and it shouldn't. Firefox is a general purpose browser, so it should display web pages as the author intends. Security/anti-malware is expected, but changes in content are outside its scope. That's what extensions are for.

If you're installing Brave or Opera, you're not interested in a general purpose browser. Adblock is part of their advertised feature set.



Technically, software for browsing the internet without Adblock is not general purpose. I would consider it to be shopping software.

My point is, this is a No True Scotsman fallacy.
