    thank you, v1.17 for firefox available. i installed in on edge (not that often used), and a test profile for firefox.
    oh, wait, the "hide continue button" option is gone. also in edge.
    is it because of the policy?

    concerning this for linux is not that simple as you wrote. some packages allow access to the firefox bin folder, but snap wont let you. there exist an official SUMO article where to place the policies.json:

    I have a curiosity?
    Considering that there are 8 protection handlers by default and for each website it takes several ms to do the check which always follows a certain proportional line,i.e. the first handler is always the first,the second.....and so on...has any forum member actually checked whether using fewer handlers makes the browsing appear more responsive?

    In the image you can see in addition to the block page in URLhaus Database that earlier I opened Wilders and there are the various ms of sending URLs to the various protection managers:

    Indeed, the extension allows for fast navigation.
