They have ads in Chrome now? Yikes, it's worse than I thought.

Im'ma be honest. I've been using FF for so long that if that's the case I didn't even know.

i was talking more about how mobile chrome can't adblock, so it has ads just not on the app itself, and desktop chrome will soon not be able to effectively

Firefox has ads. Very many ads. Out of the box, Firefox sends everything you type into the URL bar to a 'search provider'. They also place traditional ads in the New Tab page, in the URL area chrome, and in your bookmarks. And probably other places I'm forgetting right now.
