- JosephLark 9y agoWhat's with the revisionist history? Mozilla acquired Pocket long after the controversy. Per wikipedia [0]: Integration into Firefox: June 2015 Acquired by Mozilla: February 27, 2017 [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_(service) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_(service)
- mercer 9y agoYour behavior in this discussion sickens me, and I'm not saying that lightly. Not only is this 'clickz' thing antithetical to any privacy argument that made me a supporter of Mozilla and Firefox, the fact that you're in here responding as if this is not a big deal is a slap in the face. I was bothered by having Pocket shoved down my throat, let alone another unasked privacy situation. What's so difficult about just providing a fucking browser that does not harvest my data for ads? Are you bored? I've seriously never been angry on an online forum since I was in my teens, and yet here we are.
- heeen2 9y agoDevil's advocate, but the difficulty is a delivering a very complex piece of software to a highly competitive market to customers not willing to pay for anything.
- pseudalopex 9y agoMozilla killed Reading List, signed a referral deal with Pocket, and made misleading-at-best statements for months before coming clean. You bought Pocket more than a year after that.
