If you want pinned shortcuts to be enabled by default (in case people complains more stuff missing from URL bar) I can change it.

I woudnt want it to be in the settings page to not overcrowd it, I think

Hmm, alright. I guess I'll remove it from the options list

Removed the options, people still can use zen.urlbar.show-sponsored and zen.urlbar.show-pinned from about:config to configure this.

Awesome, hope this ensures Google Search, which is currently pinned on installation (any plans to change this too?), will no longer show in the URL bar by default, as this has been annoying for many.

If I manage to find it, I'll probably make separate PR for it

Ngl we should add zen's website or docs for default.
