Namely. I still don't see why one should have a different ad-blocker embedded into each broswer. A simple all-round solution is reported, for instance, among the add-ons to surf: http://surf.suckless.org/files/adblock-hosts even if it is not just for surf. Browser developers (and vendors) have forced us to believe that a browser should be able to brush your teeth and bake you a cake in order to be considered "a proper one", and we didn't dare to disprove that lie. Many among us moan that systemd has become a hog which is putting its nose where it shouldn't, but do you know that there are FF add-ons for "Gnome Shell Integration": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gnome-shell-integration/?src=hp-dl-upandcoming which boast also a full support for "...corresponding extensions repository https://extensions.gnome.org"???
