Mozilla didn't acquire it, Mozilla is a non profit

Mozilla Corporation did, and they put it in Firefox and you can't opt-out

The Mozilla Foundation owns the Mozilla Corporation, so no matter how you slice it, yes, Mozilla acquired Pocket.

> you can't opt-out

You sort of can, but you need to manually dig through tens of hidden options in about:config.

It's just one option in about:config https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-re-enable-po...

You can remove the button from the toolbar and disable pocket stuff on the new tab page. What other touchpoints are there that average users should care about and that can only be disabled in about:config?
