After I noticed Firefox has removed the Pocket branding but kept the Pocket stories, I also noticed the settings screen on the homepage no longer lets you disable sponsored stories or links.
Firefox 115:
Firefox 139:
You can still remove these advertisements, but you have to leave the homepage and dig through the settings to find that option.
I was listening to MKBHD’S waveform podcast last week where they interviewed the CEO of The Browser Company, they make Arc and Dia, a newer AI browser. Never heard of them prior but I feel like Firefox has gotten more clunky slow and loaded up with features I don’t want, this post reminded me that I need to investigate a replacement.
