From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The problem with Pocket is: most of us don't want it, and cannot get rid of it like you do with extension.
Well you can just remove the button by right-clicking on it. But if that's not enough, Mozilla has a help page to completely disable it.

Disabling it (even "completely") is not the same as removing it. The code is still there. Mozilla don't even provide a method to exclude it when building from source code.
IMO that logic is really absurd. If you can disable it so that it doesn't bother you, nor steal your data, then it's completely fine. They are giving you the option to opt-out.
