Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What's next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type "McDonald's" before I can actually navigate there?

but now this is affecting the functionality of the app

This shit irks me so much, because it keeps happening!

There's this feature that makes your address bar randomly auto complete sponsored URLs instead of your actual history. Pretty fucking annoying to type n and have Netflix pop up, even though I don't use it.

When you disable this "feature", it still breaks your autocomplete! Now instead of suggesting Netflix, it just sometimes doesn't suggest anything before I continue typing.

If you must add these anti-features to pay for your CEO, at least don't break the app when it's disabled!

I think you can make it only autocomplete your bookmarks in the settings.

But I also don't want that. I just want the normal auto-complete to work 10/10 times, not just 9/10.
