If Tracking Protection is working or disabled on a site the icon will be visible. The icon is on the left side of the urlbar. When a site breaks, and it will happen when using Tracking Protection or multiple lists, it is very easy to disable Tracking Protection on a site. There are advantages to using Tracking Protection vs multiple lists. ) So… if/when a site breaks what happens then? Do you waste time disabling filter lists one by one? Whitelist that site which will then completely disable any ‘protection’ from potentially malicious ads? No thanks, I’ve seen the results of people wandering around the interwebs without using content blocking. I’m not going to test that hypothesis but you are welcome to try using all of the privacy lists for a few days and then let me know how it works out. After backing up my profile, I enabled all the privacy options in uBO and almost 18% of the entries aren’t even used because of overlap between lists and anyone that has ever used Ghostery can verify that when you get too aggressive blocking trackers you will break a crapton of sites.

You mention that uBO covers 21600+ privacy rules (my install shows 21,970 available) but does anyone actually use all of them at the same time? Personally I think that would be crazy because of overlap between filter lists and site breakage. Sounds small but I can see that FF Tracking Protection is used on maybe half the sites I visit. From the little research I’ve done I think the Tracking Protection list is around 2000 but then I doubt it has any element hiding rules or very few if any site specific exceptions. I’ve been using Tracking Protection since FF v54. “The tracking filters in ublock cover 21670 rulesets (privacy group) to protect their users, how much rules does Mozilla offer by default?”

Users who want full content blocking functionality need to install extensions for that though, as Tracking Protection does not offer that. Firefox users can enable the feature to improve their privacy and decrease page loading times when they use the browser that is a good thing.
Tracking Protection's full integration in the Firefox browser is still an important step. Google in the meantime announced the integration of ad-blocking mechanisms in Chrome in 2018, and companies like Opera have added native ad-blocking functionality as well in their browsers. The integration of the option in Firefox's preferences should help boost Firefox's image as a privacy focused web browser. The organization ran a Tracking Protection experiment some time ago to gather more data. Google could not possibly add something like this to its browser, but Mozilla never pushed Tracking Protection beyond that original functionality. The integration as a protective feature for Firefox's private browsing mode was seen by many as an important step for the organization. It was not clear for a long time what Mozilla's plans were for Tracking Protection.
