Mozilla's decision to shut down Pocket has prompted mixed reactions within the user community. Long-time users express disappointment, particularly due to recent redesign issues and frustrations with Mozilla's shift towards advertising. Many feel that Pocket's mission to offer ad-free content contrasts with Mozilla's new business strategy. Comments indicate a sense of loss for the simplicity and reliability Pocket offered, even as users discuss alternative solutions like self-hosted bookmarking services. Suggestions include using platforms like Wallabag, Matter, or Readwise. The closure raises questions about Mozilla's direction and user trust, especially in light of ongoing challenges faced by Firefox.
