I very much disagree. If anything I would vote for ad and tracker blocking
by default.
> it's breaking sites,
I use Firefox's tracking protection and haven't seen any site breakage.
> bloats firefox,
This is a very weak argument. Firefox is already huge (HUGE). I very much
doubt the code for this feature is significant in comparison. Where are
your numbers?
> cannot be trusted
What's the threat here? Can you expand?

This document (in particular the topic of filtering) is to be revised,
possibly amended. See "Add uBlock Origin to the Tor Browser": #17569
Also, remember that this sort of filtering has also performance and
bandwidth consumption benefits. See: https://lwn.net/Articles/646339/
