TechCrunch: Firefox Will Soon Get Sponsored Suggested Tiles Based On Your Browsing History

When creating a new tab and clicking a tile, here is what is reported for the behind-the-scene scope:

09:36:36 xhr https://tiles.services.mozilla.com/v2/links/click
09:36:34 xhr https://tiles.services.mozilla.com/v2/links/view

So here is a dynamic filtering rule to foil this new Firefox data-mining behavior:

behind-the-scene tiles.services.mozilla.com * block

If you would rather not use dynamic filtering, the following custom static filter will also work:

||tiles.services.mozilla.com^$domain=behind-the-scene

uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.
