On the contrary I kinda see the point in the pocket and send to bridge the gap between desktop and mobile for the users that own both.

But the small brainless degradations of the UI in Firefox make me worry about its future. For example it’s not possible to permanently add exclusions to the privacy shield. Because of it the sites are often broken. And this is a feature that is directly user facing on the main screen!

What does Pocket do? And how is it different from synchronizing favorites/tab between two browsers?

Pocket is like a mix between Bookmarks and a TODO list. I don't bookmark random articles I want to read later. I add them to Pocket.

So functionally there is no difference? It’s just a user perception thing?

Only thing i like about Pocket is it's integration with Kobo eReaders

Formerly known as "Read It Later", it's a reading list service. You save pages for later reference. There's subscriptions to unlock features.

I loved RIL but Pocket is but a shadow of what it once was.

Similar to Evernote web clips, or Instapaper. I now use OneNote instead with the webclipper plugin, mostly because it puts the clips in a place where I can also add my own notes.

I switched to Joplin. It's completely seamless once I authenticate with the service I sync with and toggle the web clipper support in the desktop app. You can even clip those pages where the site blocks the Evernote and OneNote crawler since it all happens in your browser and on the local clip server.

Best of all, it's all in Markdown. There's a beta rich text editor, but the Markdown editor has a preview and a little button bar for common stuff like lists and formatting.

I've yet to find any site that blocked either Evernote or OneNote. Interesting to know.
