War: Firefox turns into trash that will force to you see ads
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Mozilla now displays ads directly in the Firefox address bar as contextual suggestions. This innovation has already been noticed by US users. Mozilla says the feature was introduced in Firefox 92 in September and is allowing the company to raise funds for browser development.

    According to Mozilla, “Starting with Firefox 92, users will receive new, relevant offers from trusted partners based on what they are looking for. No user data will be collected, stored or passed on to third parties to make new recommendations. "

    Although the company's blog posts introducing a new feature called Firefox Suggest were published in September, it was first mentioned in the Firefox 93 changelog two days ago and presented as "a faster way to navigate the web." Mozilla says it will only work with partners that comply with Firefox's privacy standards, with adMarketplace being the company's preferred partner for the time being.

    Nice.

    @DrDave

    It is like Windows, soon it will turn back on by itself.

    Mozilla become bigger and bigger and spend more and more money on management and similar things.

    Also note that Firefox send to Mozille huge amount of information, tracking every move, site or such. Rumors are that main income of Mozilla is now from selling this information to government agencies and large corporations.
