Disabling Pocket in Firefox has been basically a right-click and then clicking the remove button option, even in Firefox 57. Of course, this isn't really about disabling Pocket, but about removing it, being some kind of ideological struggle.
To set the records straight, Free Software has nothing to do with choice, as can be seen by how GCC and other projects were developed.
I did try wallabag. I appreciate the effort of its developers, I wish the project succeeds, but the mobile apps are pieces of shit compared with Pocket. So arguably, that open source alternative you're speaking of does not exist.
I really don't understand how Mozilla is not putting the users first, because by their actions, it seems to me like they are.
The really interesting phenomenon however is that I'm not seeing the same vitriol whenever Google's Chrome is being discussed on HN. It's like there's this really vocal minority that really wants Firefox to die, this comment included. No worries, if the current trends holds, Firefox will end up being dead and then you'll be able to have a choice between Chrome, Edge or Safari.
Or you'll be able to fork Firefox, invest in whatever projects you want to invest, build whatever features you want to build and in general put your money where your mouth is.
Can't wait to see that happening. Good luck.
