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.
anyone know good alternative to pocket?
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!
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
As someone who has never used an RSS reader, any suggestions?
Realistically probably feedly. I don’t use it but it’s a reasonably good service.
This is actually amazing!
I use RSS so this will integrate fantastically
Thank you!
I love Umibo, turns your new tab screen into a persistent full tab bookmark manager with a pretty background
how do you disable pocket? its so annoying
TIL there are folks who don’t immediately turn pocket off on a fresh install…
Anyway, yeah, that pic is pretty weird
In our Schools, Firefox is constantly reset on our profile but Chrome not. Its absolute bullshit
Maybe if we didn’t spend all our money on… whatever this is, money wouldn’t be so tight.
I can write that article.
Here are 3 things we could totally stop wasting money on, try it for yourself!
-
Avocado Toast
-
Fancy lattes
-
Lamborghini Revueltos
I should apply to Buzzfeed this weekend
It’s actually worse than that. It’s a link to a service from Capital One that tries to help you find better deals online, a link to one of those lone-repayment services, and a link to a new car insurance company.

Some ai generated bullshit
looks like an accurate depiction of the effects poverty has on the human brain
Well, it’s advertising, so they will systematically and programmatically identify whatever imagery will gain your attention (which this has)
Are they watching me through my camera to see where my eyes are looking? It’s not like I ever click on ads lol
I don’t know how Firefox does it for Pocket, but you’re overcomplicating it.
Just have to track what stays on your screen longer. They could also account for where your attention likely is on the visible screen based off what, if anything, you are interacting with (menus etc).
If you scroll past something in a second, but leave something else on your screen roughly in the middle without scrolling past it or moving to a menu for 3 seconds then it’s pretty obvious which caught your attention.
Well whatever they did, it got me to disable sponsored content lol
Have you tried simply disabling pocket?
I kinda liked the recommendations so I didn’t, but looking in settings you can turn off sponsored shit which means I never need to see the Penny Horror meat monster again
Best Librewolf advertisement
It would be if there wasn’t a very simple way to completely disable pocket
Pocket has been techbro nightmare shit for years. I always disable it the moment I can.

Maybe Waterfox doesn’t have Pocket installed? I haven’t tried it too know for sure, though.
