Hitting users in the Pocket with Pocket one could say. We are disadvantaging Firefox users financially.
As I understand it the original recent Pocket (signed) addon; allowed retrieval of locally saved copies without a requirement of an internet connection. I understand this is still available for locales, or Firefox builds I should say, that do not integrate Pocket. Google Chrome apparently is similar and also offers local storage for Pocket users. To some users: Those with low bandwidth, or expensive data, the local storage was conceivably a more important and cost saving facility than saving to Pocket. Whilst I can understand Mozilla may have an interest in promoting Sync and promoting a version of Pocket that is integrated surely we should not prevent users having the facility they previously wanted, needed, and saved money by using. Why could we not have let users retain their freedom of choice, integrated or addon, or even both if they so wished. PERFECT STORM Not in the question title but why integrate a new feature in a point Release. The support documentation for Pocket and the localisation of that will have suffered due to the decision, both due to the lack of testing, and because of the enforced rush to write and translate the documents. That was further complicated by the fact that the feature is only integrated in some builds. Needless to say that perfect storm broke the documentation system's procedures and capabilities. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list governance@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
