Documenting the many failures of #Mozilla part 1 of ???

In 2015 #Firefox began including the service now defunct addon/service “pocket” as an integrated add-on, the first add-on to ever be bundled with their browser up to this point.

This decision baffled many users at the time including myself. Many wondered why such a niche service was given such consideration ahead of much more desirable addons such as ublock or adblockplus.

In hindsight we know this is because bundling such adblockers would result in a near complete loss of funding for the project from google, with little hope of another advertiser like microsoft being interested in taking over.
