Firefox nightly is running an experiment featuring a Fakespot feed on newtab

This is great news, thank you, I was just thinking how much I'd like some affiliate links in my browser. Also many thanks for all the telemetry improvements listed in the changelog, those are also something I've been looking forward to for a long time. If this doesn't solve Firefox's abysmal market share, I don't know what will!

The top item in the &quot;Gifts They&#x27;ll Love&quot; list is a beanie that scores a solid F on Fakespot: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fakespot.com&#x2F;product&#x2F;etsfmoa-unisex-beanie-with-the-light-gifts-for-men-dad-father-usb-rechargeable-led-warm-knit-headlamp-hat" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fakespot.com&#x2F;product&#x2F;etsfmoa-unisex-beanie-with-...</a>

This is perfect advertising for the Ladybird browser. I hope that some of the developers (if this really goes live on the release channel) will join other projects. I can understand that Mozilla needs money, but I don&#x27;t think this feature fits with Firefox and what it stands for.

And the example is &quot;Kodak Printomatic Full-Color Instant Print Digital Camera&quot;. An absolute Chinese dumpster-filling, for Kodak price. And the off-brand JBL headset, with affiliate link! Nice, this is much better than having an advocacy department.

&gt; New Tab Page<p>&gt; We will be running an experiment in December featuring a Fakespot feed in the vertical list on newtab. This list will show products that have been identified as high-quality, and with reliable product reviews. They will link to more detailed Fakespot product pages that will give a breakdown of the product analysis.<p>Will the products be generic (not targeted at the user based on some profile building) or is there some tracking and profile building going on to “suggest useful products” for that person? Is there going to be a different “Topics” implementation to serve this purpose?

Presenting: a real-world preview of what Chrome will inevitably transform into if it is spun into an independent entity.

Is there a straightforward way to move an about:config to a new install? The number of things I require to be disabled or changed is mounting and I&#x27;m not looking forward to putting Firefox on a new machine.

Firefox was open-sourced when Netscape was bought by AOL. It seems like they&#x27;re now on their way to offering their own AOL experience.<p>And I guess my references only make sense to &quot;geriatic&quot; millennials and older..

Criticizing is easy, I&#x27;d like all critics to suggest alternatives to how FF development should be funded. I don&#x27;t like this at all but I also cannot come up with any realistic alternatives.

So we all agree this is bad. How can we show them? They <i>claim</i> to speak the language of telemetry, so how do we speak it to them? What actions must we perform to show that this is undesirable?

Use Librewolf and never go back. How people keep up with Mozilla&#x27;s bullshit is beyond me.<p>Can&#x27;t wait for the Ladybird alpha release.
