Comment (by cypherpunks):

 This would also be a good step in the right direction for Firefox
 upstream:
 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap

 has entries like

 Filter certain types of ads by default: Firefox will offer users a simple
 ad filtering option. We're in the early stages still, researching types of
 advertisements that should be blocked by default. (Q3)

 as well as making tracking more difficult and stop auto-play videos like
 chrome has done it.
 Instead of just having the "basics" it could be a joint effort to have the
 logic for blocking and replacing in FF/TBB and the filter lists by the
 community.
