Bummer. I can see pocket going, I tried to use it but it’s basically a place to put stuff that you plant to but never actually get around to reading, a bookmark does the same thing. Fakespot I’m not sure about. I’ve used it, but there’s no way to verify how right it is.

I hope they don't remove Mozilla accounts too, I have all my bookmarks and sync between devices there. Zen browser that I use relies on this and I assume other browsers based off Firefox do too. Mozilla does not have a good managing team and they deserve to go down but there should be a transition period.

They're likely moving to focus on Thundermail.com, VPN, calendar, private cloud storage, etc.. Like Proton Mail does.
Finally! I couldn't wait for Pocket to shut down. One useless icon less in my Firefox.

Mozilla shouldn't have bought FakeSpot
