Another feature no one asked for, meeting its technological grave. For those few users of Pocket this function could have been easily handled as an extension.

If Mozilla spent the engineering hours wasted on this toward fixing the ever growing mountain of existing bugs they might have more than 1% market share.

Firefox has the "killer app" for modern browsers--ublock origin.

I am dismayed by how much money Mozilla spends on things other than the browser, though.

Ad blocking should just be an integral browser feature at this point, as in Brave or Vivaldi.
