So go to the website and use it. Many of us simply find it as a way for more propaganda to be fed to us unasked-for when we open up a new tab (at least, until we remember to turn it off).

In fact internally it's still packaged as an add-on that is installed on first run. Unbundling it would be super easy.

The product belongs to Mozilla, so I don't see why they shouldn't integrate it.

Because it bloats up the browser.

That said I find the articles they recommend interesting (and to steal my time ...).
