Look at it! What is that? It looks kind of like a cross section of a human, kind of, except the eyes are pools of blackened fire and the brain is sending electrical pulses out to... are those Jupiters? Why? Why??? This is absolute nightmare shit lol

The first thing I do on a fresh install of firefox is disable pocket.

[-] spiritusmaximus@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

anyone know good alternative to pocket?

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

Having a purse allows even more storage

[-] kite@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Would not recommend. That's how you end up with lopsided shoulders and a bad back.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

If only that was the only way to end up this way... (for the back at least).

[-] KelsonV@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A backpack solves both problems!

Can't confirm, now I have two lopsided shoulders.

[-] Getallen@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

A frontpack and a backpack!

[-] giant_smeeg@feddit.uk 19 points 1 year ago

No, but a good option that still works:

  • Disable pocket from the FF home page.
  • Get your personalised RSS link from your pocket profile
  • Add it to RSS reader of choice
  • Click pocket button on article
  • Read in RSS reader
  • Never see sponsored crap
[-] Zana@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

As someone who has never used an RSS reader, any suggestions?

[-] giant_smeeg@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Realistically probably feedly. I don't use it but it's a reasonably good service.

[-] spiritusmaximus@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

This is actually amazing!

I use RSS so this will integrate fantastically

Thank you!

I love Umibo, turns your new tab screen into a persistent full tab bookmark manager with a pretty background

I haven't tried it yet but I've heard good things about omnivore

I also just found shiori

[-] shua_too@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I tried omnivore for a bit because it’s pretty clean and seems to integrate well with other apps like Obsidian, Logseq, etc. but I found it to be a little too sparse. I’m currently using raindrop.ion and that’s hitting the sweet spot for me. I think a big part of it is that omnivore is geared strongly toward heavy readers, so as a designer I save a lot of things for viewing more than reading, and more of an archive for projects and thoughts than something to catch up with. And I’ve got my reading list, movie list, software list, and all sorts of others in there that it’s closer to a personal Pinterest than a read it later app.

It is a really nice app though so if someone’s in the market for a reading-first definitely check it out! I’m personally really digging my personal knowledge archive with raindrop.ion and think it’s worth checking out too!

[-] KelsonV@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Assuming you mean the save-to-read-later functionality, I hear good things about Wallabag. You can even self-host it if you want.

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

how do you disable pocket? its so annoying

[-] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 1 points 1 year ago

This link from Mozilla's docs should cover it!
