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"???

Oh, c'mon...
