Thanks for your bug report. Enabling AdBlock by default would be a violation of users' freedom even though it could be turned off easily. I would feel strongly restricted if my browser were to decide which parts of the website should be displayed to me.

If you still feel that enabling AdBlock is a good idea, please discuss it on a proper mailing list or forum.
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/forums/ might be a good start.

I mentionned it on #epiphany, chpe doesn't think that's a good idea and I agree. By default the page should be displayed as designed. The blacklist is not updated very often according to chpe too. And there is no UI to manage the extension yet. Keeping the bug as closed for now. We might reconsider the choice later when the feature will have an UI and after getting testing by the userbase during an unstable cycle too
