Pocket will be shutting down on July 8, 2025. This is very disappointing as I love the compatibility with my Kobo.

Good riddance, maybe at least now FF will stop trying to push it so hard.

Oh good, now I don't have to disable it anymore when I setup Firefox. Not sure why proprietary tech was ever in my browser in the first place, but I'm glad it's gone.

They promised to open source it 7 years ago when they bought it and now they're snatching it out from under users and shutting it down. Mozilla is getting better and better at emulating its Silicon Valley idols

I've lost faith in Mozilla. I really think it would be best to fire the board and start over.

Absolutely shameful mismanagement. This is really the last straw for me. I've subscribed for years. I'm getting off all the other Mozilla products I subscribe to. On the plus side, this is the kick in the pants I need to finally migrate to a self hosted solution

I mean people have constantly been saying that Mozilla needs to focus on Firefox and now they're shutting down the services people were complaining about

I have literally never heard anyone say anything good about pocket, until today where it's apparently mozilla's greatest gift to mankind
