          It is not. I just installed Firefox today on a new machine. It is, however, synced to all my machines when I’ve logged in.

            Then I guess I must be getting special treatment from Mozilla then or somehow am downloading a different installer from GetFirefox.com because it’s always been installed for me on a fresh install after a reformat or when putting it on someone else’s computer since I switched back from Chrome after rumors about Manifest V3 started circulating a few years back. 🙄

              You are someone I most often agree with on Lemmy, but you are simply mistaken here. Plug-ins get restored if you login to a Firefox account, so perhaps that’s why you think that it’s default for UBO to be installed, but it simply isn’t.

              Im guessing adding plugins is part of your default workflow when installing browsers somehow. Ublock origin is the most used plugin on firefox Id reckon, but a fresh install doesnt carry it.

      If you use a mozilla account it automatically installs addons that you have on other browsers, that might be why you think it’s installed by default.😅

      Nope, not using Firefox on mobile. (I do on Linux mint though, and even with ublock I still got YouTube ads last time I was able to actually connect to the Internet.)
