Full article: Firefox browser has started shipping Brave's adblock-rust engine

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.

Well yeah but a lot of actual overflows need to be fixed by making the JS runtime/JIT in Rust. Not in JS itself.

And rust doesn't protect you from bad coding. Just like JS.
