RSS Is Better Than Twitter

Can anyone comment on why Mozilla is integrating dodgy services like Pocket and now some ill-conceived screenshot web locker? Is it just hunger for data as revenue?

"Cloud" features have been recently removed from the screenshot tool, FYI.

Well they bought Pocket, so I'd assume they wouldn't want their investment to be for nothing.

They bought Pocket AFTER they installed it by default in Firefox as some kind of PR disaster control.

Conspiracy Theory: Mozilla wanted to acquire the service from the beginning, but before doing so they would integrate it beforehand to stir up some drama, devalue it a little bit and buy it for less.

Not really related, but does anyone know of an open source Pocket alternative?

Try Wallabag: https://wallabag.org

It used to be called Poche (French word for pocket) but they had to change it becuase of a legal threat from Pocket.
