Can mozilla do something with forceful pocket integration? I know that mozilla straight off bought pocket, but every day I use the browser, I'm reminded of they decided to profit off their users, as well as the moments when "google.com" was not even a selectable choice for a search engine, for their political game.


After reading through this, I find the only sentence that explains what the partnership actually does to be this:

> Your membership is paid directly to the publishers in Scroll’s network based on the content you read.

So is Firefox' tracking protection now at the "acceptable ads" stage, where specific trackers can buy themselves a free pass if they make a direct cooperation with Mozilla?


How is this trackers buying themselves a free pass? I don't know much about Scroll, their website suggests that they are about paying publishers for content you view, rather than selling your data. Is there something sneaky that they're doing that I'm not aware of?


Apologies for the OT: the typography on the linked page is atrocious.


only if mozilla quit removing ways to use user/prefs.js on android.

every version the "patch" a new way and back we go being full of beta features enabled by default
