Good riddance, maybe at least now FF will stop trying to push it so hard.
They promised to open source it 7 years ago when they bought it and now they're snatching it out from under users and shutting it down. Mozilla is getting better and better at emulating its Silicon Valley idols
I've lost faith in Mozilla. I really think it would be best to fire the board and start over.
Absolutely shameful mismanagement. This is really the last straw for me. I've subscribed for years. I'm getting off all the other Mozilla products I subscribe to. On the plus side, this is the kick in the pants I need to finally migrate to a self hosted solution
I mean people have constantly been saying that Mozilla needs to focus on Firefox and now they're shutting down the services people were complaining about
I have literally never heard anyone say anything good about pocket, until today where it's apparently mozilla's greatest gift to mankind
Oh for crying out loud, stop removing actually useful stuff, Mozilla! The AI junk you're working on? That you can nuke from the orbit. Pocket? Keep it, it's actually useful.
Mozilla is sometimes just... unable to keep actually cool stuff around. I don't know why this keeps happening, because open source development organisations shouldn't work this way.
Fakespot is shutting down as well.
I'm so fucking tired of marketing speech saying: 'For your benefit, we are stopping this thing you like and use a lot'
It's always always always bullshit, it is NEVER for our benefit but we have to pretend they aren't lying
Oh good, now I don't have to disable it anymore when I setup Firefox. Not sure why proprietary tech was ever in my browser in the first place, but I'm glad it's gone.
