Nice troll about pocket compromising your privacy... you know the code doesn't run at all (it's lazy loaded) until you click the icon that you can remove from your location bar right? and of course you don't get an account by default etc. I'm not sure either what you mean by a "slim" browser. All modern browser codebase are huge because the api surface is huge. Firefox & Chrome are in the same ballpark, IE/Edge may be smaller since they are not multi-platform. Pocket is a very, very small part of the codebase. At the same time, we are working on making some core parts of Firefox (un)pluggable, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Go_Faster#Project_1:_Ship_features_as_system_add-ons https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Go_Faster#Project_1:_Ship_f...

I didn't want to troll about Pocket. I'm not discussing technical details. I'm referring to the fact it is a piece of software with a license VERY different from Firefox that has been integrated INSIDE Firefox. Why is that? Normal people doesn't read licenses, if they see a button they press it and they start using the feature. They do not pay attention that this is a different service offered by a different company. Saying "you can remove it" is not an answer. First because I CANNOT remove it, since it is integrated, secondly because it's like saying that you can uninstall bloatware that comes together a new PC. Pocket, integrated and offered in this way, is in my opinion bloatware and should be removed as soon as possible. There already is the pocket add-on, for anyone that decide to use it. There is absolutely no reason to integrate it inside the main browser. And from a company that puts privacy at the first place, offer a product TOGETHER with another that comes with awful license, is a mistake.
