    No ads coming up in my Epic Privacy Browser with adblock & encrypted proxy on :-). Firefox has been copying a lot of Epic's features, but still is far behind their privacy defaults…

    No, Mozilla needs to keep focusing on Mozilla and trying to make it better than Chromium. Competition is essential. They're the only ones left other than Apple now that Microsoft h…
