Firefox app on android. Never seen this before until today. But Firefox is now putting ads in the app?

I think people need to appreciate that Mozilla is probably the only company in the world who will allow you to turn off ads like this, for free.

Ah hahahaha no. That's not even close to true. Do we seriously need to mention the dozens of alternative web browsers out there?

Opt-out is still toxic

I turn everything off in Firefox’s new page except search! I always found the news stuff distracting too.

that's typically what i do but on desktop i turn off search too since a) i use the awesomebar primarily and b) my ntp is a background and i'd rather see that for a cleaner look :)

You should be able to turn off "web search" too if you go to the page mentioned in the parent comment.

(Note the Edit icon in the corner of the homepage does not give you all the options. It used to let you turn off sponsored content, but Mozilla removed that a couple versions ago.)
