Ublock origin is the best
I do wish Mozilla would remove the proprietary parts of Firefox though

Try Fennec browser, literally Firefox with proprietary parts removed and with access to about:config. Can be found in Fdroid

DRM plugin and all the built-in cloud stuff is proprietary on the server side

(the sync can actually be self-hosted and is OSS, the DRM is third-party and proprietary)

I mean, that’s not surprising though is it? If a FOSS tool I made has an additional feature that requires my own backend to support, then there has to be a backend to support it.
The FE that uses it is still FOSS, and one could always build their own API to the specs outlined by the client.
They could OSS their server side code ofc, that’d be cool. But that also takes sometimes double the effort to do well, and keep custom tweaks and changes either separate and proprietary, or build out a complex way for them to be dynamically injected. So I don’t really blame them on that one tbh.
