        But you can’t remove pocket from firefox just disable it. Given that it wa also a close source binary blob that made firefox not completely open source I’m glad it’s going.

          ?

          You can just right click on it and hit “remove from toolbar.” That’s all it takes.

          Putting it back in my toolbar for the purposes of taking this screenshot was actually more clicks.

          You can actually do this with most, but not all, of the toolbar items. You can even 86 the refresh button that way if you’re feeling truly perverse.

        And then people get all pissy when Google or Microsoft show a pop-up of a new feature…

          Yes, Microsoft is especially bad in this regard. For this whole spring have I clicked hundeds of times that I’m aware that my trial is ending. They also introduced a new feature that they promote on a space that takes literally half the screen. And youtube premium, oh boy.

            This is… not quite related to the topic, no? Trial ending warning is not a “hey, here’s a new feature you might want to try out”.

            They also introduced a new feature that they promote on a space that takes literally half the screen

            Could you elaborate? I used to use Edge as my daily driver, now it’s my secondary browser. I have no clue what you mean here.

              Not speaking of edge here, but the Microsoft fabric/power platform. They tried to sell me some feature for months and eventually i missclicked and started the trial. Now they are notifying that the trial ends in x days and they’ve been extending it so it never ends
