The browser that shows ads on its starting page? The browser that comes with "Pocket", that you can kinda hide but never turn off completely?

- nlunbeck 3y agoImo dismissable ads are worth it when the browser doesn't sell your data. Then again, I only look at the FF start page for like 2 seconds at a time
- hn92726819 3y agoThat's the one. The alternative is one that tracks every site you go to and sells that data for a profit. Easy choice in my book
- stonogo 3y agoabout:config extensions.pocket.enabled to false Or just delete the xpi from your filesystem. All the ad crap is trivial to turn off.
- rchaud 3y agoI turned off the Pocket recs in the settings once and never saw them again. Let FF advertise: at least they don't use app updates to quietly reset app permissions to default the way many others do.
