- ZenoArrow 9y agoPocket is a useful addition to Firefox. People just got a bee in their bonnet because it was a proprietary service that they didn't ask for. If a similar feature was rolled out that Mozilla developed internally, nobody would've batted an eyelid. Now that Mozilla owns Pocket, and is open-sourcing the technology behind it, we get the best of all worlds, a useful addition to Firefox that is developed in line with the ethos of Mozilla. Lastly, the whole Pocket saga was a storm in a teacup. Want to know what most people did when they didn't want to use it? They didn't click on it. If you're offended that a specific logo was present in your browser, I'd suggest you're in a vocal minority.
