#Firefox going full steam into dark patterns.

I had disabled their pushed Pocket stories on the home/new-tab page. So to force them at me, they now pushed out a new section “Thought provoking stories” or some bullshit, which are all just ads. Meaning clickbait headlines linked to sites that say “start a trial subscription for free!”

Next week, “Return of Though Provocations” that I again have to manually disable, I bet.

@sjuvonen about:blank is my home page

about:config to disable pocket api and removing telemetry endpoints is my second thing...

At least we still have these tools, unlike whatever it is that chrome has become... In the name of "safety" and "protecting" the user.
