I've never allowed pocket to be enabled long enough to even see what it looks like, lol.
hustle culture protip: you can pay off rent this month by selling your soul to moloch!
Grind your soul to dust for profit!
Maybe if we didn't spend all our money on... whatever this is, money wouldn't be so tight.
TIL there are folks who don't immediately turn pocket off on a fresh install...
Anyway, yeah, that pic is pretty weird
In our Schools, Firefox is constantly reset on our profile but Chrome not. Its absolute bullshit
Have you tried simply disabling pocket?
I kinda liked the recommendations so I didn't, but looking in settings you can turn off sponsored shit which means I never need to see the Penny Horror meat monster again
Pocket has been techbro nightmare shit for years. I always disable it the moment I can.
looks like an accurate depiction of the effects poverty has on the human brain
Best Librewolf advertisement
It would be if there wasn't a very simple way to completely disable pocket
True, but if you count that on top of the other settings worth changing then it adds up. That said, I still use Firefox so I'm not even including myself lol
I keep seeing this mentioned. There's no reason to use Libre or Water or any other fork of FF if you realize you can pretty much make FF do whatever the hell you want. Then you get all the current updates and security patches as well.
I still like the idea of forks existing though, more variety is always good (I say, typing this from FF...)
What others are worth changing?
Some ai generated bullshit
Recommended by Pocket stories on the New Tab page is a feature currently available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, Italy, France and Spain. We're working to bring it to other countries.
i've never seen it before, thanks for the tip
So advertising, then.
yea i'll disable it when it comes to my country
What is pennyhoarder? I see their articles everywhere. It’s crazy how they have managed to insert themselves so completely.
This is a perfect example of their ads working.
