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?

    These can be turned off. Not great that they’re on by default, but you gotta pay the bills somehow right?

      Yeah, this is basically the least offensive thing possible that ensures the lights stay on.

        The only thing really offensive about it, judging from the post, is that they’re positioned before the user’s pins, not after.

      People keep giving Mozilla shit for taking money from Google, yet they see an ad for a different company and lose their shit.
