Mozilla to Cut Down On Sponsored Tiles

Now cares about the “core” experiences.

Remember when Mozilla started to experiment with the sponsored tiles, saying that it was for the better? Then, despite a lot of controversy, still decided to implement ads into Firefox?

Well, after the continuous decline in the market share, it looks like Mozilla might have finally realized that selling out its users is not exactly a formula for the success. The result? The recently made announcement, which puts an end to this. As stated by Darren Herman, “Advertising in Firefox could be a great business, but it isn’t the right business for us at this time because we want to focus on core experiences for our users.”

Consumers: 1
Mozilla: -1
