    I cannot upvote a paywalled source

    yes, blurring the article if you don’t disable ad blocking is a paywall

        People will do just about anything but use Firefox. Whatever, I love Firefox + Ublock Origin. I cannot imagine being a chump and rawdogging the internet will all the ads and bullshit.

          I haven’t seen an ad in 3 years, and I haven’t wanted to see one once in that timeframe.

          Go ahead and check out what shows up on the Edge start page when you first launch it on a new profile/fresh Windows install. Pay close attention to specifically which shortcuts and news stories they present to you by default.

            Sir, I’m a dork. I have used neither Windows nor Edge in, well ever. I switched before Edge was even created.

              I only use windows at work, and only when I really have to. The other day I had to use a new fresh VM and I had some…concerns…over the “default” choices.
