Ad Blocker not needed for some browsers? #265

Is this evolved? Not needed for firefox? Edge? They have their built in protection settings we can check for instead of an adblocker. https://security.lullabot.com/physical/malware.html

Do you have more details? Looking at Firefox's settings, the closest I see is cryptominers (but in practice those just waste CPU and energy, and aren't always a true security impact):

All browsers use something like Google's Safe Browsing list, but that doesn't block bad content on good domains (such as a malware advertisement).
