For the "just turn it off" folk, you know what's even better than that? Not having ads at all in the first place.
"just turn it off" until they update firefox and add in new spyware/adware tucked away in about:config you won't notice until all your data has been mined
That's a bit slippery, but they sure are abusing our trust in the brand for this one.
then get people to do a monthly donation to mozilla and thunderbird.....
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.
absolutely bonkers
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.
