Pocket cannot be e2ee.
It has to render the URL beautifully for each domain. It can only be done server side.
It also has to offer suggestions/recommendations, so they need to track you
- pseudalopex 6y agoWeb pages can be rendered in web browsers. Why do you think it has to offer suggestions? Reading List didn't. The equivalents in other browsers don't. Suggestions could be a separate opt in feature.
- ffpip 6y agoIt is not a normal render. It has a particular layout for each domain. It removes the ads, signups, etc. They call it 'Article View'. It is rendered per domain. People actually like the suggestions thing. They get good articles to read.
- pseudalopex 6y agoPocket's Article View is optional. Firefox has Reader View built in. Special handling for top sites could be built in. Special handling for any site could use a protocol designed for privacy like malware protection does. People who want suggestions could opt in.
