Firefox app on android. Never seen this before until today. But Firefox is now putting ads in the app?

The default search engine being google is a much worse offence imo, but somehow people dont complain about that.

That's the one thing keeping Firefox (and all it's forks) afloat.

You can literrally change that with just a few clicks. It takes a few seconds...

But I guess you don't like that great software costs money to develop, so you will start using those alternatives that wouldn't exist, if it were not for Mozilla/Firefox... Make that make sense!

I've been using Duck Duck Go through Firefox for years now.

Me too, but its surely still a decision that has much worse of an impact on the average non techie user than a random little bookmark thats even easier to remove.
