BTW I always wonder what kind of profit Pocket might bring to Mozilla. They own it anyway.

The integrated Pocket does show some "suggestions" on the default new tab page. But I don't see any ads on them, and sometimes they are pocketed articles from paid-subscription resources like e.g. The Atlantic. It it's a kind of paid content advertising ("we pay you to bring more readers to this ad-free text page"), it can't be a very lucrative service.

Disclaimer: I actively use Pocket, but I'm not a paying subscriber of it.

Pocket totally has ads. The HelloFresh ones are incessant. It's just that they're ads in "article" form.
