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!

    I just touched Windows 11 for the first time today.

    The Start bar has a Widgets corner, which includes a helpful weather display but is 99% infinite news scroll.

    I opened Edge to download something else, and was greeted with more news and crap.

    Don’t get me wrong, Firefox is better than Edge. But Edge is the worst of the bunch by far.

    Despite its reputation, Chrome looks and feels like, and in some ways is, a lighter browser. No news feed. No AI chatbot. I get that they can afford it, but the difference is still painfully palpable.

        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.
