Wow, that’s awesome! I was very sad without the clickbait articles. I was staring at Firefox thinking “i wish it had a cluttered start page with clickbait articles and sponsored content like MS Edge” - and then with this new update the devs nailed it! Thanks!

That’s really perfect!

    For the “just turn it off” folk, you know what’s even better than that? Not having ads at all in the first place.

      “just turn it off” until they update firefox and add in new spyware/adware tucked away in about:config you won’t notice until all your data has been mined

        You think I want to financially support Mozilla with that blackmailers logic? Support qtwebengine devs, qtwebkit devs, netsurf devs, or gtkwebkit devs; or anyone that doesn’t stick malware in their open source browser for profit.

            As is turning Firefox into a subscription service!

            I wouldn’t mind a paid premium that came with some cool themes or something of that nature, but this path ends with enshittification and nothing else.
