Basically, and I’ve been using it for that since before the acquisition, although recently the Android version had removed the option to cache full versions (only reader mode remains), which has enough of an impact on my usage that I’m planning to migrate away.
Still, there’s a lot of things that seem very misaligned with Mozilla’s mission: the huge dark-pattern tracking banner, the non-open-source nature, the huge dark-pattern tracking banner, the default homepage with weird US-politics-related recommendations that has replaced the actual list, the huge dark-pattern tracking banner, the recommended links inserted at the end of each article as an engagement-driven manipulation, and have I mentioned the huge dark-pattern tracking banner with the accompanying tracking. This would be an expected amount of evil assholery from a random SV startup, but from Mozilla it does feel like a point to add to the betrayal tally (hello EME/Widevine),
