And, please @firefox/ @mozilla, remove those tracking links from #MozillaPocket. With that, you bring discredit on yourself.
I disabled pocket lol
@scottmeme Probably for the best. However, in my opinion, this is only over, when privacy is the default.
One of the first things I do when installing Firefox.
To disable pocket go to about:config and put in
extensions.pocket.enabled
and set it tofalse
.You expect too much of them. They promised to open source pocket 7 years ago, maybe that will happen after another 7 years.
I switched to Omnivore which is open source and has a Firefox plugin.
Just disable pocket via user.js.
Firefox might be the “lesser evil” but that don’t mean they’re a saint.
If you’re concerned about privacy you’re gonna have to do abit of the legwork yourself. Arkenfox Is probably the quickest way to harden standard Firefox and I’ve used it for years without issue.
If you want a more out of the box solution then then Librewolf is a privacy focused fork with much better defaults and most of the questionable crap just ripped straight out of the code.
