After seeing a lot of backlash over Waterfox adding Brave's adblock engine:

> It looks like Waterfox is piggy-backing off of Firefox’s implementation (great!).

And it's been there for a little while.

> Mozilla bundled adblock-rust (Brave’s Rust-based adblock engine, the same one my team works on) into Firefox. Pretty exciting to see them finally start taking ad & tracker blocking seriously; I didn’t think I’d see this day. **It landed in Firefox 149** via via Bugzilla Bug 2013888.
