 Replying to [comment:3 cypherpunks]:
 > I'd suggest adding cached block lists to not have to download them on
 first run and to prevent users from having different block lists (to
 prevent fingerprinting).

 uBlock Origin version or block lists.

 I suggest to convert it by patch on TBB (maybe on NoScript) or to use the
 native firefox tracking protection with our own cached block list.
