Proper support for uBlock origin requires WebExtension support - at least the infrastructure and the APIs used by uBlock. That's a great project in itself, but not a small one! A simpler option - doable for an embedder using the network interception api ( servo/components/servo/webview_delegate.rs Line 787 in 941aa63 |

Yeah I heard adblock-rust is compatible with ublock lists but not sure if it's effective as ublock itself. Great option tho! |

Oh, that's actually a pretty neat idea (I wasn't aware of adblock-rust). I wonder if we could / should add it as a feature to servoshell. |

I don't think we should add something that opinionated to servoshell. But also, I don't know if servoshell acceptable feature scope is well defined. I would love to hear from the TSC on that. |

Opinionated? What do you mean? Also I think today's internet is not usable without any adblock or tracking protection. |

I mean that Servoshell is supposed to be a test-bed for the Servo embedding API - it doesn't have to be fully featured like a production browser. Integrating lots of 3rd party code will make it less a "reference implementation". |

I'm wondering if it is possible to integrate uBlock origin (or something equvilent) into engine as it's adblock and tracking protection? Basically the ultime browser with adblock & anti-tracking.
Love the project, hope it succeeds! ❤️
