When improving browser performance one of the low-hanging fruits we could
think about is using at least some of the Enhanced Tracking Protection
(ETP) feature for that purpose. This ticket is the parent ticket to track
all the involved work.
There are a number of questions involved that we need to discuss and
decide how to proceed (and probably more than I came up with below):
a) Do we want to use the same message and UI of ETP as it is shipped right
now in Firefox?
b) Do we want to enable the same lists as Mozilla is doing in the
respective browsing modes?
c) Do we want to use the same list retrieval mechanism as Mozilla (using
the safebrowsing protocol)?
d) Do we want to host the tracking protection lists ourselves?
e) Does the work in this ticket (and child tickets) is our answer to "ship
an ad blocker" in Tor Browser? Or do we feel the need to still ship
another blocking tool on top of ETP?
