Cloud Sync is not proprietary, you can run your own with all functionality that Mozilla's provides, the code is on Github.

  This is about Pocket, which is what krn referred to as "a proprietary cloud synchronization service". Mozilla has been promising to make Pocket open source since it acquired it over 1.5 years ago, but haven't done it yet.

    There is plenty of client source code available on github, the remaining parts are the server which understandably might pose some issues if it contains either patents or third party proprietary code.

      Yeah, the clients are open source, and they're interfacing with the proprietary cloud service. Just like krn said.

        Atleast part of the cloud service is open source (mozilla's side) and they are still planning to open source them. Until evidence of the contrary surfaces I do believe Mozilla when they say that.

          A trustworthy open source company doesn't bundle its product with a service its users have no control over.
