I recently clicked on a "Thought-Provoking Stories" sponsored link on the Firefox homepage, expecting an informative article. Instead, I was taken to LendingTree, where I was asked increasingly personal financial questions, including my full address, email, and phone number.
I find this kind of sponsored content misleading and concerning, especially for a browser that promotes privacy and security. This process felt deceptive and overly aggressive in collecting user data.
I would like to know:
How can I ensure that I do not see similar misleading ads in the future? Will Mozilla take steps to review and remove such advertisements from the Firefox homepage?
Thank you for your time.
