@Marko :) Thanks for the video

@Sampei.Nihira CEO mentioned open source code and filterlists, so my guess they first focus on including it, before optimizing the code and filter (storage) for Firefox, would smart of Firefox to use open source Rust-adblock engine and apply optimizations to outperform Chrome!

I have read on Reddit some Mozilla staff stating they will only adopt the trackers list, not the full ad blocker.

I don't have much hope.
Considering that on my PC, Chrome outperforms Firefox by 58% in the Speedometer 3.1 test.
And my tests show that, at least for now, adding at least three filter lists to Firefox's built-in ad blocker slows Firefox down even more.
