    Mozilla never fails to self-own itself.

    Which is unfortunate, because I still rather use Firefox than Chrome/Chromium browsers nowadays, but it would be nice if Mozilla kept its focus on improving Firefox and its tooling rather than features like these that, even under the best of intentions, are very suspect.

      Yeah, I just use Librewolf. But unfortunately unless if they manually keep this feature out, they’re going to get it too when they update.

        Yea.

        Well, either way, there’s a good chance such a feature gets not-maintained and then deprecated in 1-2 years because that’s just how Mozilla tends to roll.

        Librewolf keeps a few manual features out and adding things back in. Pocket is automatically disabled in Librewolf. And they re-enable the ability to run unsigned packages, which is only allowed in Firefox Nightly builds.

          God, FUCK pocket. The last thing I need are ragebait articles staring me in the face.
