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?

See ads, "how dare they" Sees paid version, "how dare they" Development costs time and money, pick your poison.

@UltraGiGaGigantic @lemmylurkaround Actually, I would gladly pay for a browser that is just doing its job.
I need one for macOS and iOS, preferrably one solution for both.
Could you point me in the right direction, please?

Maybe you can donate to Mozilla?

Are they going to give me a link to a version that doesn't do this? Otherwise what exactly am I paying for?

How has no one in this thread put together that you can literally just customize your home page, removing categories until it’s literally blank, or only keeping pages you select available.

Git good noobs.
