Firefox has search based discover of content on the web, but it has failed to keep up with the trend of discovery using recommendation feeds. Firefox should be able to recommend new web pages I would be interested in.
- csmantle 1y agoNo, thanks. After I finish my task on my browser, I would take a break offline rather than indulging into an endless stream of "You May Also Like". Actually, I would thank FF for not filling their homepage with these noises.
- charcircuit 1y agoGetting people to use Firefox less and take more breaks from it is not how you gain market share. You need to make it easy for people to find content they are interested in.
- jksflkjl3jk3 1y agoPlease tell me this is sarcasm. That is exactly the kind of terrible idea that Mozilla would come up with and force on users.
- charcircuit 1y agoIt's not sarcasm. Firefox used to have a built in RSS feed, but instead of modernizing this by not requiring sites to setup a RSS feed and using algorithmic rating to find the best article they got rid of it altogether.
- danudey 1y agoThe last thing Mozilla should be spending time and money on is some kind of hosted algorithmic discovery feed. There are a ton of those out there, so if you want that you can get it anywhere you like. RSS feeds were great because you could choose what you wanted and opt in to them; using algorithmic analysis would require not only a lot of infrastructure and dev time but also a lot of data collection and all the privacy concerns that comes with it.
