Wow, that's awesome! I was very sad without the clickbait articles. I was staring at Firefox thinking "i wish it had a cluttered start page with clickbait articles and sponsored content like MS Edge" - and then with this new update the devs nailed it! Thanks!

That's really perfect!

Right, Chrome exists to ruin the rest of the web. The browser itself can keep its hands clean.

Google and Chrome both, for sure.

And Google's definitely making Chrome worse too, but in a way that the average user won't notice until it's too late, ie once companies figure out how to subvert manifest v3 compatible ad blockers.
