        Pocket was really useful a ~decade ago, when it was still an add-on that did its one job: saving webpages in a “reader mode” to read offline. Now it’s just sponsored spam IMO

        Every few months when I open firefox with a fresh profile, I’m surprised at the shit they keep adding. For some time there was a fox that would pop up and ask some question I can’t remember anymore because it was immediately clicked away. Their welcome wizard is also too long and could just be on a different page. At one point there was even an ad for their VPN. And sometimes, on some random sites, a translation popup with appear that I never asked for.

        I wish there were more competition in the browser space.
