| > There is no money involved in the Pocket thing. * It doesn't matter if money are involved or not. Firefox always was a pure browser free of crapware (at least that was a goal: open and free software). Now it is not. The problem is: if one piece of adware is allowed, then there would be another one and in 5 years it will be fully supporting AskToolbar. Just stick to original plan and keep it pure.
I bet there will be money involved: I just cancel my donations to Mozilla and send them to EFF instead if this adware won't be removed. > Pocket was added internally and not as an extension because it was easier. * It doesn't matter if it was easier if the idea was not right in a first place. According to FirefoxFeedback 92% of requesters asking to remove "feature". > You don't become a Pocket user simply by using Firefox, you need to actually use the feature. * Then why it is in the bundle, why it is on toolbar, why I have to perform actions to hide it? Why adBlock plus is not in the bundle (it's waaaay more popular)? Software is good when there's nothing good to remove from it; Pocket and loop (hello) are both not welcomed and not wanted pieces; > If you don't use it, then it is not doing you any harm. If somehow the presence of a button annoys you, then you can click the "customize" menu item and remove that button. Until someone will find exploit and create security hole. Removing the button won't remove code from codebase. > Try to see how partnerships and opportunities make things better for everyone. I believe it is better for everyone not to include questionable 3rd-party services into FF platform. |
