Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What’s next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type “McDonald’s” before I can actually navigate there?

      Depending on where you got Firefox from, default settings are different. Maybe your distro ships with these deactivated.

        on mobile, too, it looks like. on pc, i’ve only ever seen half that many, plus google pops in there if you switch your search default. click-dismiss and they’re gone. toggle a couple settings, done. they don’t come back.

            nah in firefox those ads can be disabled by unchecking a checkbox, in windows it’s probably not just an easy to find checkbox and i bet after removing the ads they’ll just come back after an update.
