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!

    Sponsored Shortcuts, which is an alternative term for advertisement

    That’s simply incorrect, Sponsored Shortcuts work differently than ads, in the later you’re tracked and your PII gathered.

      I wasn’t talking about the technical implementation or differences in how they are handled, but more of a personal judgement. To me every Sponsored link is an advertisement, everywhere, not only in Firefox.
