> Tor browser team doesn't want to for simple reason: fingerprinting.
I don't understand this given reason. If they package in uBlock origin across their desktop and android browser. Then everybody will have uBlock origin so the same fingerprint. If the reasons are different subscriptions lists that users might enable/disable, sure that's fingerprintable, just make a disclaimer about that if users want to modify the default lists.

As much as I agree with it, they see it as another maintenance headache and unnecessary attack surface. NoScript is the only extension which they've been shipping since quite a while.
