In what way is Mozilla selling their users to Pocket? Do you realize that Mozilla acquired Pocket years ago?

  Mozilla didn't acquire it, Mozilla is a non profit Mozilla Corporation did, and they put it in Firefox and you can't opt-out

    > you can't opt-out You sort of can, but you need to manually dig through tens of hidden options in about:config.

      You can remove the button from the toolbar and disable pocket stuff on the new tab page. What other touchpoints are there that average users should care about and that can only be disabled in about:config?

      It's just one option in about:config https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-re-enable-pocket-for-firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-re-enable-po...

    The Mozilla Foundation owns the Mozilla Corporation, so no matter how you slice it, yes, Mozilla acquired Pocket.
