Goddammit !

The service will stop working in July of this year (2025) and users have until October to export any bookmarks before everything gets deleted.

@Faintdreams Mozilla got really tired of people coming to them for the better alternatives to locked down corporate stuff with shenanigans. They really want people to stop using their stuff and giving them business.

Sometimes I swear it's like their current CEO was actually a Google plant who waited this long to start acting to tear the company down from inside.

@Faintdreams i'm so bummed about this. i read most of my articles through pocket on my kobo

@forestine I used it the same way and have nearly every day for the last 10 or so years.

There are so few friction free alternatives. I am so mad at Mozilla for not even selling or open sourcing the code
