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?

This is the same garbage we condemn Windows for, though. It's still not okay.

nah in firefox those ads can be disabled by unchecking a checkbox, in windows it's probably not just an easy to find checkbox and i bet after removing the ads they'll just come back after an update.
