It's an amazing echo chamber. 7 pixels in the address bar were the end of Mozilla. In reality, most people who browse the Web barely know what address bar is, and couldn't care less how much padding it has.

I use Nightly and haven't even noticed when it changed. I've only learned about the "controversy" after the fact. But then again, I must be a lunatic, because I think Pocket is useful.

There is another lunatic like me?

Yeah, I like Pocket, it can't be trained like Google news. I wish I could use Pocket recommendations on desktop.

You... can? Unless I'm totally misunderstanding what you mean.

Unless you're using a linux distro that compiles it out or something, it should be right there in as an option in about:preferences#home

At least on mobile, you can or could tell Google news to prioritize certain topics. Or that some don't interest you.
