I for one welcome the pocket interface no longer being installed by default. If I want (pocket|AI|news|recommendations|smart .*) in my browser, I'll install it myself, and choose which one I want if there are several options available.
(This is not firefox specific but several browsers in my country have a deal with a news site I don't care for, and on Edge mobile it's the only option in a list of news sources to choose from besides turning the thing off. Think "Fox News" and you're pretty close. Thanks but no thanks for reminding me as an immigrant that there's too many of us.)
