Pocket is the only reason I use LibreWolf - I don't trust its integration and what parts I can actually disable

What do you think Mozilla is doing with Pocket they couldn't do with... the rest of the browser?

Pocket was bought by the Mozilla Corporation over 5 years ago. It's a first-party Mozilla product.

I did not realize that.

I still don't like the fact that it has sponsored links then - that is what rubs me the wrong way.

Yup, it's not great. Still seems easier to just turn them off with the new tab settings panel than recompile the whole browser, but I guess everyone has their own preferences.

Just switch extensions.pocket.enabled to false in about:config Whole thing gone. It's like an internal addon an that switch disables it.
