After I noticed Firefox has removed the Pocket branding but kept the Pocket stories, I also noticed the settings screen on the homepage no longer lets you disable sponsored stories or links.

Firefox 115:

Firefox 139:

You can still remove these advertisements, but you have to leave the homepage and dig through the settings to find that option.

what, they're killing arc already? holy shit

edit: oh my god that article is painful. "i wish I went all in on ai because i enjoyed playing with chatgpt"?

Webpages won’t be the primary interface anymore. Traditional browsers were built to load webpages. But increasingly, webpages — apps, articles, and files — will become tool calls with AI chat interfaces.

WHAT THE FUCK LOL this is straight up brain damage from using too much chatgpt

I agree theyre putting effort into their AI branded browser now over Arc, but he did reiterate that Arc would remain in maintenance mode. Security patches, fixes would still get implemented but it's being facilitated by 2-3 engineers only and no new features will be developed for it. Has no bright future, but I wouldn't call that dead. He equated it to Safari, essentially.
