Seems like pocket is losing a lot of its value due to more sites not working with its article view. I've stopped using it because of that and also because it doesn't work well for pages that aren't articles and I didn't like having to maintain multiple bookmarking tools.

That being said, if it was more integrated with Firefox and Firefox's bookmarking tools, that might make it compelling for me again, so maybe this is a good thing....

I hate the way pocket was just plonked in as a feature i never wanted along side a bunch of splash screens.

I was also upset at that, but I decided to give Pocket a go. it wasn't bad. and then they changed it so that the Pocket section of the home screen couldn't be collapsed, and it became a problem. see I want it to be there as an option, but I wanted it collapsed by default - otherwise, it's too distracting when I'm just opening a new tab to search for something. so I disabled Pocket and don't use it anymore.

When reading your replies I choose to think that “gits” is hacker news slang for using git to check out the source code, patch the offending behaviour, and compile it yourself.
