Desktop homepage: blocking specific websites would be a nice feature

[schmozilla]

The default FF homepage; I like it. It's cool that it gives me a few things to look at the refresh occasionally, and that they're filtered by subject. However there's some sites I don't wish to go to. Either sites that feel like clickbait or sites that have a paywall attached to them. I'd rather they not show up at all.

The thumbs down button does not work for this... in fact I'm not sure exactly what it does. For example there's a website that comes up on the NBA section that is always low effort, bad content click bait. But it's popular because of the sensationalism. I've thumbs downed specifically that website at least 30 times now and it's still a regular pop up under that section.

Feels really easy to integrate this button.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I just want to say, thank you for getting rid of the thumbs up/down, didn't really seem to do anything, and replacing it with a report button. I think it's worth noting that I will continue to report sites with low content, that peddle click bait. I doubt I'm using it correctly, but until I can simply block a site for good that's what I'm going to keep doing.

Regards.
