It makes a fine browser extension. It ABSOLUTELY does not make good embedded code.
There is no good reason for it to be "core functionality" in a browser, other than the fact that Moz://a got a fistfull of dollars and foisted it upon us.
EDIT: For example, what would be a good use of core functionality, is if Moz://a included IPFS resolution and native support. That is a protocol level support, and thus would need native support rather than plugins. Plugins do indeed work, but require significant workarounds. For example, native could be ipfs://hash whereas the plugins need to specify http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/hash http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/hash
- jacobr 9y agoI respect that everyone does not want it in their browser, but you could also say that about developer tools, screenshots, even bookmarks are not "core browsing". By this point Pocket is just another feature, fully owned and developed by Mozilla.
