Yeah, that's just Mozilla attempting to save a stupid sunk-cost.

Pocket:RSS::allowance:salary.

I feel like we're entering a period when a browser shakeup is in order.

Chrome is spyware. Safari is usually an implementation laggard. Firefox makes a seemingly endless stream of stupid, annoying choices. (Never used whatever MS calls nextgen-IE now.)

Seems like it is time, again, for something that sucks less.

Edge. It somehow manages to be worse than IE in many circumstances (including being used to view Microsoft's own websites).

Are you basing this on the huge costs for pocket?

I use pocket; it's better than nothing. Also: if it weren't for pocket, FF would have some difficulty competing with Googles suggestions, which are pretty OK, really, and definitely enough to keep me occasionally entertained - and without killer feature to beat chrome, why pick FF over chrome at all?

(Some context: I used to use chrome precisely for that reason, and recently switched back because the suggestion feature appears to work less well now, and FF's version is good enough).
