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?

    Name an internet browser that’s not rigged to show you adds, or one that doesn’t havest your data.

      Y’all can use LibreWolf or BestHomePageEver if it really bugs somebody. I do get being annoyed by shortcut ads though.

        I wouldn’t recommend LibreWolf to the average user as they’ll unfoubtedly stretch their attack surface thin.

            Absolutely, it’s just the browser extensions most end-users want/need that would cause them distress in that regard. It’s simply not as user friendly from what I can recall, it’s been a while since I last used it so it may have improved since then
