The Pocket button is tiny. I often forget it's there. Furthermore, other browsers have similar "Read It Later" features, do you have a problem with those too?
"Read It Later" type services are useful in browsers as alternative to bookmarks. Are you going to complain that bookmarks should be an optional browser feature as well? Are you really that bothered by a couple of small buttons in the corner of your browser UI?
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoAh, so unilateral install of unwanted commercial applications are fine for you as long as each one defaults to a standard icon. You'll be happy when they add the Nike, Netflix, Tesla, or Chanel logos then so long as each is only a standard icon? "It's just one icon ..." well two that I know of so far.

Quoting myself... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16233707 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16233707 "If most detractors were honest with themselves the reason that Pocket had the backlash is because people saw it as a move towards the commercialisation of Firefox. The fact that Mozilla now owns Pocket outright seems to be largely ignored."
