I checked out FF for the zillionth time the other week after the Quantum release hoping to love it, but the deep Pocket integration was just too offputting. Turning it off requires some Googling. There were other irritating commercial things too. It’s a shame. FF is probably the most important open source project in the world and it’s a shame they do stuff like this. I’m still on Chrome :(

You mean the single button that does literally nothing until and unless you click on it?

Add a couple more buttons and hey, you've got a toolbar going.

Why can't they just make a web browser that's... just a web browser? Chrome has never had buttons to email pages with gmail, record videos onto YouTube, share pages on G+ etc.

The default new tab in Chrome contains links to all of those things and more.

Not exactly a great example if Mozilla is trying to claim the high ground.
