@xor oooh so it's mozilla's doing then? either way I'm for it!

maybe the bright side of firefox's low market share is that we can get good out of the box ad-blocking behavior and it will be years before the advertisers get in on the arms race and try to defeat it

@technomancy I'm thinking it must just be that Strict tracking protection is more powerful at adblocking than I thought. which means it's baaaasically included out of the box

@xor it would be an extremely Debian kind of thing to include an adblocker in the default install, but sadly I don't think that's the answer

it absolutely SHOULD be the answer, because a browser without an adblocker is woefully incomplete, but I don't think Debian has the awareness to understand that... yet

I feel extremely silly asking this, but I'm on a totally fresh debian install and I think all the ads are blocked in the browser. I didn't install an adblocking plug-in though! What's doing this!

It's astonishing how many web developers are still hand-wringing about the future of WebKit in a world of true iOS browser choice.

Safari will be fine unless Apple continues to chronically under-fund WebKit...and that's a choice Apple gets to make; nobody else.
