Correction: We bought Pocket, not sold out to Pocket.

Your behavior in this discussion sickens me, and I'm not saying that lightly.

Not only is this 'clickz' thing antithetical to any privacy argument that made me a supporter of Mozilla and Firefox, the fact that you're in here responding as if this is not a big deal is a slap in the face. I was bothered by having Pocket shoved down my throat, let alone another unasked privacy situation.

What's so difficult about just providing a fucking browser that does not harvest my data for ads? Are you bored?

I've seriously never been angry on an online forum since I was in my teens, and yet here we are.

Devil's advocate, but the difficulty is a delivering a very complex piece of software to a highly competitive market to customers not willing to pay for anything.

What's with the revisionist history? Mozilla acquired Pocket long after the controversy. Per wikipedia [0]:

Integration into Firefox: June 2015

Acquired by Mozilla: February 27, 2017

Mozilla killed Reading List, signed a referral deal with Pocket, and made misleading-at-best statements for months before coming clean. You bought Pocket more than a year after that.
