Why don't they just open it up to let people run their own Pocket services? The usual "proprietary code" excuses make no sense for an organization like Mozilla and it's being end of lifed anyway. Just dump it on a repo somewhere and let people hack on it if they want to. Why isn't this part of the sunsetting plan?
Good. I've been disabling this shit in about:config for one decade too many.
They're likely moving to focus on Thundermail.com, VPN, calendar, private cloud storage, etc.. Like Proton Mail does.
Mozilla shouldn't have bought FakeSpot
Mozilla! Stop doing stupid stuff!
As a Kobo user who sends articles to my Kobo via Pocket A LOT, this is some hefty bullshit.
was fakespot ever available outside the us?
Shutting down two things that had no business being built in their browser, to replace them with more stuff that have no business being built in their browser.
Mozilla really embraced the "corporation must corporate" motto.
well shit, i loved pocket. i guess time to make my own del.icio.us social bookmarking/saving app like i've been wanting to for years.
Yeah I've been using pocket since it was Read It Later. I got shit in there going back about 15 years I guess I'll be exporting and finally going through lmao.
Finally! I couldn't wait for Pocket to shut down. One useless icon less in my Firefox.
Wait, I didn't know Mozilla actually owned Pocket, I thought they just had a partnership or something...
I used to main Pocket back in the days when I had an iPod Touch 4G and older iPhone models, nowadays... It is storing articles from those days that I bet I haven't gotten to read 😂
Man, one gets a backlog of everything these days.
I'm already on my second 'Watch Later' playlist on YT.
How does a second Watch Later playlist work?
Just a playlist named "Watch Later 2" where I save videos.
Ah, so it is manual work? I mean nothing to do with YouTube handling.
Not after filling up the first one ;)
YES! No more Pocket button sticking out like a sore thumb!
It literally takes 5 seconds to remove it.
Wasn't it possible to remove that button?
Possible: yes
Convenient: no
?
You can just right click on it and hit "remove from toolbar." That's all it takes.
Putting it back in my toolbar for the purposes of taking this screenshot was actually more clicks.
You can actually do this with most, but not all, of the toolbar items. You can even 86 the refresh button that way if you're feeling truly perverse.
Nobody cared to use Pocket so its not surprising, btw what was that Fakespot thing?
Well no one likes or asked for pocket as far as I know so good riddance.
Hey Op why was Microsoft Palestine thread removed?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
