Kako navode, adMarketplace je njihov partner za plasiranje sponzorisanih rezultata. Jasno je da je vrednost Firefox-a u održavanju diverziteta interneta, ali ovakvi potezi verovatno najviše smetaju starim korisnicima koji veruju u misiju fondacije. Štaviše, ovo je verovatno moglo da se izbegne pametnijim planiranjem i plasiranjem boljih proizvoda na tržište radi obezbeđivanja kakve-takve finansijske stabilnosti i održivosti, mimo novca koji daje Google. Kao dugogodišnji korisnik pregledača, ne mogu da ne budem razočaran.
Iz saopštenja:
Firefox has always provided address bar suggestions, such as websites from your browsing history, bookmarks and open tabs (on by default), as well as suggestions from your default search engine. Beginning in Firefox version 92, you will also receive new, relevant suggestions from our trusted partners based on what you’re searching for. No new data is collected, stored, or shared to make these new recommendations.
We are rolling out a new type of even smarter suggestions. You might notice a message inviting you to enable these new suggestions the next time you install or update Firefox.
These suggestions — which aim to enhance and speed up your searching experience — are only enabled when you provide access to new data types. We source and partner with trusted providers to serve up contextual suggestions related to your query from across the web.
