You tried to look like you were agreeing with me but skirted the main point and instead asked me a question. Excellent PR skills :). The problem isn't the fact a utopian version of a Reader List doesn't exist, the problem is what Mozilla did in shipping Pocket. Let's not get away from that.

>> If you're not using Pocket and it is not sending any data because you're not using it, having that feature present is actually harming you?

Pocket doesn't "hurt" me, it hurts Mozilla's reputation and it hurts Firefox's less knowledgeable users, particularly because it was made a prominent default. You're handing your users over to a closed source company and not even getting paid for it!

In my opinion if Mozilla was really focused on what it says are its values, it would never have shipped with Pocket integrated like it did. Instead it would have have taken the time and developed the feature in Sync and allowed users like me to host my own. Integrating Pocket to simply rush a feature to get a PR win is the problem.
