I don't think I've ever seen a single ad on Firefox (including on any website thanks to uBlock working better on FF than anywhere else), what ads are you talking about?

I was mainly thinking of the ones on the new tab page. Years ago they had "tiles" or something and I turned those off, then they added "suggestions" and they're not different but the old setting doesn't apply to them.
There are ads in the urlbar, ads on the newtab page, ads, ads, ads!
This is on desktop.
Pocket.
Mozilla owns Pocket.
I think his point is that Pocket is the piece of shit that pushes the "sponsored" articles people refer to as ads.
Google owns the product that they are advertising in Chrome as well I think.
That doesn't make it any better really!
Afaik both Firefox and Chrome are advertising their own products in the browser at this point in time, so there isn't a whole lot of options to escape this. Maybe Linux distros could patch some of this stuff out or disable it via default settings at least.
