> You can, I suppose, go find the settings one by one and disable all the places they appear

It's like one setting in about:config

> Switching to Firefox means accepting ads built-in to the browser, something that (AFAIK) Google has never done

Google might not build ads into the browser, but if you use it as they intend and log into the account all of your activity gets tied to your account. I would rather have pocket then not be able to sign into a google account without google signing it in across the browser

> I mean, sure it's great that ad blockers still work, but let's not pretend that Firefox is some kind of bastion of pro-user sentiment.

Yeah mozilla has a shitty track record I'll admit and firefox is a lower quality product, but at the end of the day it's still the lesser of two evils

Oh really, which one?

Never said it wasn't.

Exactly - pocket is only one source of ads at this point. They keep adding them from different sources. I've actually compiled Firefox without Pocket for years now, and I still got ads in the browser after an update.
