Wow, that's awesome! I was very sad without the clickbait articles. I was staring at Firefox thinking "i wish it had a cluttered start page with clickbait articles and sponsored content like MS Edge" - and then with this new update the devs nailed it! Thanks!

That's really perfect!

You think I want to financially support Mozilla with that blackmailers logic? Support qtwebengine devs, qtwebkit devs, netsurf devs, or gtkwebkit devs; or anyone that doesn't stick malware in their open source browser for profit.

As is turning Firefox into a subscription service!

I wouldn't mind a paid premium that came with some cool themes or something of that nature, but this path ends with enshittification and nothing else.
