We've already shipped Tracking Protection (and the resulting pageload
speedup). It just wasn't enabled by default.

That isn't ad blocking, though. My impression is that we're unlikely to
ship full ad blocking by default (until better alternatives are in
place) because of the impact on the web ecosystem.

That is, those add-ons are popular, but as they become more popular,
more sites are adding countermeasures, and we don't want to this to get
into an arms race.

(Well that was wildly offtopic)
