Pocket is Mozilla's bookmark/sync pay-cloud-service. Comes with Firefox by default and can't be easily removed. From a company that claims to care about privacy I would expect a self-hosted local-first approach for such problems, not a cloud service.
But its not active unless you turn it on right? Just preinstalled so if you decide to use it its already there?
Cause that does sound like a little bloatware but if thats the only bloat they have and thats its only issue Im not sure Im bothered by it.
that's exactly what people are complaining in this thread, just about different browser
