I use Firefox occasionally on my Mac, but it is not my default browser yet. Does the browser contain an adblocker as part of the browser, or does one have to purchase an adblocker? Thanks, Doug

Hi Doug, you never need to purchase ad-blocking software. There are numerous good free ones on the Mozilla Add-ons site.

What Firefox includes is an anti-tracking feature called Content Blocking. It blocks some but not all ads, as well as analytics sites.
