> but make uBlock Origin part of the browser, and bring it under their wing

I totally agree with this. At this point uBlock Origin's technology is so important and essential it should be a standard feature of every browser. I've posted this many times before. People usually say that uBlock Origin is better off independent because Mozilla is funded by Google.

I don't disagree. I think the conflict of interest is troublesome.

As far as browser technology is concerned, extensions like uBlock Origin are so important they should be part of every browser. I would like to see even deeper integration and more powerful filtering features. I do agree that we need the right incentives for such a thing to happen. We can't have an advertising company in charge of ad blocker code.
