Having to see mentions of Nazi camps on my home page or seeing a notification for Facebook containers although I don't use Facebook. All that bloat being enabled by default is troublesome and goes against very principles Mozilla advocates.
- sleepless 6y agoRight, you mean the content Mozilla shoves into new tab. I disabled this the first time I saw it. Not going down in the browser I use. Should it ever be impossible to disable, I'll switch browser in a blink.
- viklove 6y agoSo... disable it?
- roca 6y agoIt is two clicks to remove that entire "Highlights" section.
- freediver 6y agoI think you missed the point of “behavior enabled by design”. Of course I can remove it, as can someone who just stepped into a pile of poo clean their shoes. We’d just prefer that the pile of poo didn’t exist by default.
- roca 6y agoNo "principle Mozilla advocates" says that the start page should default to blank.
- bzb3 6y agoIt should not default to ads, at least.
- roca 6y agoVery little of the content on the default start page is ever paid advertising. AFAIK it's a few of the Highlights, sometimes.
- bzb3 6y agoSo they look like ads, which erode trust from users, and they don't even get paid for them. That just makes it more stupid.
- roca 6y agoThey're mostly thumbnails of Web sites people have recently visited or visited frequently, i.e. they look familiar. I don't think they look like ads to most people, and I certainly wouldn't conclude they do without actual data.
