Takes forever? It's like 2 clicks to remove sponsored links forever.

Unlike edge which likes to switch you back to the MSN landing page and bombarded you with US news articles even though your machine is set to another language in another country each time FSLogix fucks up your user profile.

They're not talking about sponsored links, they're talking about the "quick links" that take random sites from your history and put them on your new tab page. They take forever to remove because if you remove one it grabs another website from your history and puts it there instead.

you can just remove that entire feature by clicking the cogwheel in the top right of that page.

Seriously? I've been dealing with it for years, why would I have never done that? I think I'm going crazy...

Any time it takes to go down the entire list and click more than once is too much time.

Also:

and then they just updated and all that crap is back.

That's the opposite of forever.

cogwheel, top right, disable all check boxes you want.

I have never had FF switch sponsored posts back on after turning them off after first install. It also remembers after a reinstall.
