Firefox displays offensive ads in blank tabs

New Mozilla solution can increase community frustration in Firefox browser

A Firefox developer, Mozilla, plans to add a new feature to his browser, which has already caused negative reactions from users. The new version of the browser already displays the ad in blank tabs, which will occur on all supported desktop platforms.

Reddit users noticed that the ad was not displayed entirely, but only in the selected circle of individuals. It is therefore likely that Mozilla performs a small experiment. do not provoke the massive anger of the users. The official name of the new advertising feature is "snippets". In addition, advertising may be disabled if it becomes too intrusive.

In the Reddit forum, users who display ads indicate that it is displayed in a small window at the bottom of the screen and contains a link to Booking.com.

Mozilla does not specify, tests are performed or in the future, such messages will be displayed more often in Firefox. However, the users themselves are not satisfied with the fact that the browser has started displaying advertisements. Although this feature can be disabled, such an open browser development direction can increase community frustration.

Remember that Google promised a nice surprise to Chrome browser users. Also in summer, the creators of Firefox have asked for help from users.
