This only matters if you use Pocket.
This is no different from search integration. There's local code that lets you do Google/Yahoo/etc searches from the home page or the awesomebar. What these sites do with your data on the server side is unknown.
- nileshtrivedi 11y agoFirefox gives many choices for search integration. Perhaps something like that would have made Pocket more acceptable.
- toyg 11y agoExactly. If the problem was note-saving integration, they should have built an open interface for it, and then maybe (maybe) endorsed Pocket as the reference implementation, featured in the extension gallery or on the start screen. Bundling Pocket outright, like Mozilla was just another Silicon Valley company, was very shortsighted.
- zanny 11y agoAlmost like you could install Pocket whenever you wanted to use it in your browser and remove it when you didn't want it, like you can with search engines? Also, I would not particularly call those search engines a great comparison. They are simply keyworded bookmarks - you set the URL and when you enter a character or click the icon it loads the bookmark. The extent of integration was the search options menu where you can add any website's search field and it inherits the icon from that website, so its generic.
- ironsides 11y agoThe fact that we are still talking about Pocket being integrated in 2016 amazes me. Especially considering that Mozilla was designed and intended as a community project.
