>At worst, it's just fine (Mozilla just uses it internally to replace or supplement its old and incomplete Tracker Blocking system, which never gets the same scrutiny).
I think you're right but I'm sure they can fuck it up a lot worse than that if they really want to. AI ad detection? Sponsored blocking? New RCE pathways?
I think its much more likely than not a step forward, and I welcome the change, but recent Mozilla decisions have me watching closely.

My faith in Mozilla has dimmed a whole lot over the past few years, but if they feel like making Firefox worse, I don't think they need to do it this way. More code _does_ mean more vulnerabilities, but that hasn't stopped them from adding a half dozen *other* features that could have been extensions. This one could actually be beneficial, as it would cut down on the performance requirements for users, especially mobile ones.
