Firefox today had a message that popped up at the bottom of a new tab browser window, saying "The president has used disinformation for the last 4 years to get us to where we are today. How can we prevent this going forward?"

Just absolutely dystopian at this point. Media basically re-writing history to give themselves more control. And Firefox happily agreeing. Honestly almost enough to make me quit firefox forever. That and it's not compatible with a lot of games, it's kind of a bad browser tbh

This is the most pathetic thing I've read in a long time. "This is dystopian! Bbbbbbut, I'm still going to support them!"

Firefox is still the best alternative to Chromium-based browsers. This 'feature' sounds like a snippet, I always disable them via about:config and changing browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.snippets to false. Also disable Firefox studies and telemetry, for more Firefox privacy and security settings check this guide.
