Stop Bombarding Users with Leftist News Links

[Statsdoc]

The Firefox home page is all of a sudden infested with links to leftist websites with anti-Trump pro-Marxist bias. I'm sick of it. Firefox has plummeted in its stability and ability to connect with many websites, which I suspect is due to censoring. After almost 20 years with this browser, I'm about done and will be looking for a less left-leaning alternative.

I agree, I have used Firefox from the beginning and it has always been my "go to" browser. But I have noticed the Trump-bashing fake news it is pushing. If this is who Firefox has become I will be looking also.

Go woke, go broke. These people have flatter learning curves than cabbage. https://brave.com/compare/firefox-vs-brave/

I too, left because I am sick of the anti-conservative, anti-Trump news feed. Nearly 100% of it is anti-family, anti-Trump,and anti-American values. In addition, FF added AI which I absolutely do not want embedded in a browser. I have had several credit cards and bank accounts hacked in the past and for me this presents a huge security risk. I used FF for years, but I am done. Chrome is far worse and for the moment I have moved on to brave. In addition, I removed windows from all of my computers and have switch to Linux. I have no issues, no regrets, and I also game a bit.

Is there any way to contact them to complain?

I've decided that its time to start doing something about this "soft propaganda", with all of the suggestive articles that Firefox posts that are CLEARLY anti-Trump, anti-Republican, and pro-liberal.  I don't like to be manipulated, and that's EXACTLY what some of these justice warriors at big tech and big media feel like they can do.  As such, I've removed firefox as my browser.  There are other browsers out there that do what firefox can, without the propaganda.

The news is saying negative things about trump because trump is doing a lot of things that are bad, that's not "pro-marxist bias," that's reality. I know you wrote this post over a year ago, I do hope you've come to understand in that time that trump is helping no one but himself, not even if you're a pro-genocide mega-bigot is he helping you. Financially you are almost certainly doing worse while trump is using the office of the president to enrich himself. How you liking those gas prices?

Funnily enough, if you ever talked to to a real marxist about the mainstream news, they'd complain about its pro-capitalist bias. You don't understand what you're complaining about.  

But if you're really such a baby that you can't tolerate the news reporting on the horrid things trump has done, good news! You can click on the little pencil icon at the bottom right of your home screen, and turn the "Recommend Stories" toggle off. There's also a "manage stories" option under the "recommend stories" option when on where you can choose to prioritize or block certain subjects, so you could (probably- I don't use it) just block news about trump and as such avoid the reality you're lashing out against.

Lots of ad hominem attacks on the OP, there, "orderofthetriad".  Unfounded as they are, I'll attempt to parse through your message to infer that you believe that Trump has done NOTHING good, at all.  That is the message that firefox (and plenty of other "unbiased" big tech/big media sources) are putting out, front and center.  EVERY ONE of their articles about Trump/Republicans either dredges up some wrongdoing that he or they have done (which I'm not inferring that they haven't), while also completely ignoring things that they have done well (which they have).  To ignore this is simply putting forth an ignorant/bad faith argument, at best.  But don't worry, you're not alone in your rationale/strategy. 

By the way, "toggling off" these stories does nothing in firefox.  They continue to come back, as if firefox gives the illusion of "freedom of choice", while in reality, not following through with it.  Sound familiar?

It would be nice that in another world, someday, we as humans could be forthcoming about the truth, and be able to handle it productively.  Maybe AI will do that for us as well, lol.

"By the way, "toggling off" these stories does nothing in firefox. They continue to come back," That's just flat out not true, I've had stories toggled off for years, I never see them. My home page is locked down, the amount of suggestions i get from firefox on there is zero. 

Anything "good" you think trump has done (you didn't even say what good things you think he's done, if you really want to defend him saying 'he did good things' while failing to mention even a single thing ain't it) is far outweighed by the bad things he's done. Well over half a million people- mostly children- are dead because of USAID cuts trump is responsible for, no amount of good deeds will bring those people back. No "good" thing he does will undo the fact he murdered children. We're stuck in war because trump can't undo the bombing of a school, killing even more children than he already had. But, please, explain to me what good things trump has done that outweighs the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children? You are not mad at the news, you are mad that reality and your worldview don't match up.

Also, what's up with putting my name in scare quotes? if you googled my name, you'd find it's a group of three dudes from an adult swim cartoon. Unclutch those pearls, girl.

"orderofthetriad"

I'm sorry, but your behavior of continuing to:

- Apply unfounded/inaccurate words and thoughts to our posts

- Claim that firefox doesn't respond to numerous "dismiss" requests (that MANY have experienced)

- Using spent, rage bait-based comments such as "Unclutch those pearls, girl"

- Straying from the topic at hand that firefox floods their pages with liberal bias (providing statistically incorrect citations about USAID based on.... a study from one of the most liberal institutions: Harvard!

...may provide you with some kind of self-serving satisfaction, it doesn't warrant any further discussion from me, as it's clear you don't wish to engage in any truly productive discussion.  Be well

[orderofthetriad]

Still can't name one good thing trump has done, huh? Are you familiar with the fallacy fallacy? It doesn't work so well when you're complaining about stuff you also did. You're the one that claimed trump has done good things, so cite one that makes trump bombing a school and killing children acceptable to you.

"Claim that firefox doesn't respond to numerous "dismiss" requests (that MANY have experienced)" then go send a bug report about it, because that shouldn't be happening. Like I said, I've had "recommend stories" turned off for years, and have never had it turn back on randomly. I don't understand what's stopping you from doing the two clicks required to turn it back off.

What the news says and your reality-denying response to it is a YOU problem, not a firefox problem. If you think harvard is liberal, you are seriously out of touch with reality. As I said in the first comment you responded to "Funnily enough, if you ever talked to to a real marxist about the mainstream news, they'd complain about its pro-capitalist bias. You don't understand what you're complaining about." You are looking at the center and complaining it's leftist, lol, lmao even.
