        Pocket was really useful a ~decade ago, when it was still an add-on that did its one job: saving webpages in a “reader mode” to read offline. Now it’s just sponsored spam IMO

        Every few months when I open firefox with a fresh profile, I’m surprised at the removed they keep adding. For some time there was a fox that would pop up and ask some question I can’t remember anymore because it was immediately clicked away. Their welcome wizard is also too long and could just be on a different page. At one point there was even an ad for their VPN. And sometimes, on some random sites, a translation popup with appear that I never asked for.

        I wish there were more competition in the browser space.

          The translation pop up is annoying but the service is done offline, which is nice. Nevertheless, I have never had any need for those, which sad

      Well if they want something to do, I’d kill for the option of fullscreen mode not pushing the entire contents of the page down when I hover too high instead of overlaying the tab bar on top of the content.
