User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0 Steps to reproduce: One of the Fenix requirements revolves around adding more complete support for ad blocking. Our managers have asked that we add first-party support rather than integrating and leaning on existing third-party WebExtensions like uBlock Origin for this functionality. This means that someone will need to write code to parse AdBlock Plus-style lists and handle all of the features it supports, such as regex pattern matching, exceptions, and blocking only scripts, images, etc. from a given URL. I am proposing this feature as a Google Summer of Code project due to the relatively low number of dependencies involved and the fact we don't have any resources allocated for it yet.
