We are working a builtin ad blocker. It will use the adblock plus lists but we implement it internally using C++ to boost speed and reduce memory usage.

Would it not be better to use in the mean time while flashpeak is working on canvas for the next update ?
You are right but Canvas fingerprintings more dangerous to advertisements.
And, adblocker is a memory monster.

Good thing to have as long as the inbuilt adblocker is optionally. I use ublock which is light on memory and lets me use my own defined lists
