If all it's doing is blocking "predefined domains", I wonder how it compares to doing that with a HOSTS file. The latter is non-browser-specific and works for all applications on the system.

editing the hosts file requires admin privileges doesn't it? Doing it in the browser means it works for everybody that can launch arbitrary executables.
Worth mentioning that this setting is in Firefox for Android, which makes it much easier compared to rooting the phone.
