Just know I saw this, because I would never ever visit freaking groupon. “Sponsored shortcuts” can be disabled in the settings . Bleh :(
I mean, I’m not a big fan of it either. On the other hand, I want Firefox to continue to grow and be actively developed and supported. If not from sources like these - to me unobtrusive - ads, where else can their revenue come from?
Not trying to be controversial. Just asking. What business opportunities would we support Mozilla in that we’d be happy with?
Google blocks ublock on chrome just as Firefox adds first party ads
Fan-fucking-tastic
That’s always been there though, every time I install Firefox I have to disable that and Pocket. Linux, Windows, Mobile, all of them.
I just looked thru settings and customize homepage and don’t see any option to turn them off
Edit: found it, have to go to customize homepage >shortcuts >toggle off sponsored shortcuts
I dunno about the iOS version, but on the desktop and Android versions both you can also disable them directly from the new tab page itself.
Groupon? What decade am I in?
Aged your self here, pops
Is there a Browser where I don’t have to turn off these type of sponsored links? I’ve done it in Chrome, Firefox and Opera at minimum.
Either Fennec or Mull. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/
Firefox stripped of its playstore requirements and telementry gives you fennec.
Fennec + arkenfox user.js installed = Mull.
Qutebrowser, Dillo, LadyBird, Zen. Good luck.
Surprised you didn’t mention the commonly mentioned ones, like librewolf, mullvad browser, mull, cromite, fennec
