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!

    Maybe more people will join me in thinking that the best thing to do is to set browser.newtabpage.enabled=false and otherwise fiddle with the settings until it just shows you nothing but a blank page in a nice colour when you open a new tab or window.

    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

    Are you paying for firefox or getting it for free? From where do you think they get money to pay salaries other expenses?

    you might say oh but chrome is also free but its not, you just pay with your privacy
