Before HN flips its shit and threatens to move to a browser that is either owned by an ad company, or use a browser that replaces all ads with its own ads, you are asked whether you want to enable it or not on the first launch. As much as it sucks, having more sources of income rather than just relying on Google is a net positive.

If its an individual organization doing just firefox, i would 100% buy/subscribe to a paid version of the open source browser, which is not shilling my data for ads. I cant believe i am the only one who wants this.
