Look at it! What is that? It looks kind of like a cross section of a human, kind of, except the eyes are pools of blackened fire and the brain is sending electrical pulses out to… are those Jupiters? Why? Why??? This is absolute nightmare shit lol
The first thing I do on a fresh install of firefox is disable pocket.
Would not recommend. That’s how you end up with lopsided shoulders and a bad back.
No, but a good option that still works:
- Disable pocket from the FF home page.
- Get your personalised RSS link from your pocket profile
- Add it to RSS reader of choice
- Click pocket button on article
- Read in RSS reader
- Never see sponsored crap
I tried omnivore for a bit because it’s pretty clean and seems to integrate well with other apps like Obsidian, Logseq, etc. but I found it to be a little too sparse. I’m currently using raindrop.ion and that’s hitting the sweet spot for me. I think a big part of it is that omnivore is geared strongly toward heavy readers, so as a designer I save a lot of things for viewing more than reading, and more of an archive for projects and thoughts than something to catch up with. And I’ve got my reading list, movie list, software list, and all sorts of others in there that it’s closer to a personal Pinterest than a read it later app.
It is a really nice app though so if someone’s in the market for a reading-first definitely check it out! I’m personally really digging my personal knowledge archive with raindrop.ion and think it’s worth checking out too!
This link from Mozilla’s docs should cover it!

It would be if there wasn’t a very simple way to completely disable pocket
True, but if you count that on top of the other settings worth changing then it adds up. That said, I still use Firefox so I’m not even including myself lol
I keep seeing this mentioned. There’s no reason to use Libre or Water or any other fork of FF if you realize you can pretty much make FF do whatever the hell you want. Then you get all the current updates and security patches as well.
What is pennyhoarder? I see their articles everywhere. It’s crazy how they have managed to insert themselves so completely.
