alt Hacker NewsDoes it block ads like Brave without installing extensions? Tracking is one of the worst plagues of modern browsing so blocking all kinds of tracking and fingerprinting should be the first concern in an enterprise. Nothing should leak to the outside world

Firefox supports policies for enterprise deployment, the ability to install extensions (like uBO) has been available for a long time:

This feature ships in Firefox for a few years IIRC? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-prote...
I agree with the other person though that you should install uBlock Origin in Firefox (which works better there than in Chromium based browsers) and never look back.
It doesn't ship with a blessed adblocker, but firefox + ubo is still the gold standard.
If you are unable / unwilling to install an extension, Librewolf includes and enables uBlock Origin by default.
It is a Firefox fork with sane, user-respecting defaults. Of course it breaks sites that do not respect their users' privacy / agency.
Is this a real question?
It takes literally two seconds to install uBlock Origin.
You can even preload it by baking in the xpi file.
If its first concern why would you use a browser that has ben caught injecting affiliate codes?

Well, just install the fucking extension in Firefox. There is nothing else that is as good as uBlock Origin. E.g. Reddit prevents you from reading unless you log in? There's a filter for that in an "annoyances" block-list that you can activate.
