This is disappointing. I love Pocket but I don't trust Mozilla, I will not use a Firefox account, and this ends my subscription.

Pocket has been owned by Mozilla since 2017; why didn’t you end your subscription then?
Because it was just owned then, I disagree with further integration.
But if you don't trust Mozilla, what made you think that further integration wasn't already going on without you knowing?
Pocket has been integrated into Mozilla for quite a while. Your efforts are either misplaced or extremely late.
Boy, the lack of self-awareness in this response is something.

Semi-annual PSA: Pocket was supposed to have been open sourced when Mozilla bought them out. Spoiler alert: it isn't. On the other hand, maybe we should give the parties involved the benefit of the doubt. These things take time, after all—the change in ownership was only announced in 2017.

(Perhaps the person you're responding to has a perspective on tardiness that has been influenced by Mozilla Corporation's relationship with the concept.)

lol, I see this the other way around;

Cheers to consumer choice!

fxa auth is superior to pocket auth
