Why do I need links to Disney, ESPN and Yahoo? How do I remove them?

I love the look and feel of iOS 7 but why this marketing junk?

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 7

I know what you mean, these favourites (on iPad) are all the more annoying because they are imposed on us without choice to opt out.


I'm a UK male adult, I have no interest in US favourite sports channels, kiddies Disney, don't trust or like yahoo and consider it presumptuous of Apple that we would want them as a favourite. And because there is no option to remove them it agitates me even more.


ANSWER: Until it's sorted I now use Google Chrome!

I'm sure the four favorites pre loaded into IOS7 were paid for by Disney, Yahoo & ESPN, but they are there as examples to show the masses a cool new feature. It is odd that tonefox can't clear them...I was able to on my IPad, Iphone and my wife's IPad 2. In my case, when I opened bookmarks, the first line (denoted with a star icon) was favorites - I had no favorites, just a lot of bookmarks - and was able to swipe away what I didn't want.

To move the bookmarks I wanted to have in there place (and many more) I opened the page and saved as favorites.

Now instead of the four pre-loaded, I have twenty or so others.
