LibreWolf automatically adding CA certificates
Sorry that I didn't see this post before, and I'm not sure, but we're adding https certs making it trivial to hijack https? Umm that's not good, thanks for bringing it up. Yes, could you please make it a ticket here? https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues

LibreWolf about:config changes from Firefox?
The LibreWolf "user.js" you are looking for is this one: https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/blob/master/librewolf.cfg . But I am pretty sure just using that for Android wont be trivial since there are other prefs/default for android. I would instead just go with Mull, which is pretty much the android equvalent of LibreWolf.
- Spotify only plays the first ten seconds of a song in Spotify
- "https://open.spotify.com/" is still not able to work in the librewolf browser. What to do?

Mozilla reaffirms that Firefox will continue to support current content blockers
No well-known content blocker "process about 90,000 regexps" to find out whether a resource needs to be blocked or not, that's just not how it works internally.
Last time I ran benchmarks of all well-known content blockers using Ghostery's benchmark tool[1], all of them could process a network request under 20µs on average.
Some do have performance concerns, but it has nothing to do with network filtering, it has to do with other stuff they do beyond network filtering (for example see [2]) and declarativeNetRequest does not help there, so they will still suffer these performance issues under MV3.

Back to Firefox, Brave wasn't the best
Only benchmarking can tell, we shouldn't make assumption about this. Currently the only comparative benchmark which I know of is ghostery/adblocker and running it with the latest static filtering engines shows uBO performing better:
-
Best Mozilla Firefox Ad Blocker
With that in mind, uBO's blocking engine is currently the fastest as demonstrated by latest Cliqz's benchmarks, so the "quicker" claim does not hold either.

Can uBO be used in programs outside of browsers?
Author of RSS Guard here. After considering many approaches, I managed to dump old C++-based slow adblocking mechanism from RSS Guard and replaced it with this.
