          The containers UI is damn near unusable, they’ve squeezed so many of those “offers” into the tiny addon manager popup.

          I wish Mozilla had management who understood their userbase. But instead they keep pulling this crap which only makes me (and likely most other power users) less likely to use Mozilla branded products.

            Suggest a better way of advertisement then that is free and geared towards privacy seekers. Yes, I do not love Pocket, but I do not find 5 minutes of debloating “unusable” tier.

            If they had a mandatory subscription or account model, you would accuse them of privacy invasion. They have donations, and they do not get funded even 10% that way. Mozilla exists only because Google wants to avoid antitrust lawsuit.

      LibreWolf. I don’t need to see “sponsored shortcuts”, recommended bullshit, abd Mozilla VPN ads when I open my browser. Firefox is by far superior to Chromium based alternatives but let’s not pretend Mozilla are saints when it comes to annoying bullshit in their browser.
