       @grainloom top sites are the sites you visit most, right?

       @grainloom Isn't the Top Sites just a bunch of things you visit most on your machine? I'm mostly sure on my machine it's consistent with my personal usage and how much I hit those sites, nothing else.

       @grainloom Maybe the mozilla corporation has made some sort of mistake?

       @grainloom hmm, no idea then. Probably just a bunch of most popular sites from all user base used to fill the default page when first installed so it doesn't appear empty.

       @vascorsd I guessss but they could also just not give those sites extra promotion....... would make more sense for a privacy focused org

       @grainloom because it is a "top site". In Alexa rankings or so…It's a reality, a sad one. And many users want it.

       @grainloom I don't support their decission in this case, but maybe it's not more than a 'easy-entry' feature for the 'Average Joes' out there.

       @rugk the original intention doesn't matter if the effect is known to be just further popularizing sites that shouldn't be
