People did. I did. Firefox's Pocket integration is always the first thing I disable on a fresh install. You'll always find people complaining about the tiniest things :-)
You're possibly right.. I don't use pocket.. But it doesn't get in the way for me.. But, firefox also has ads for their own VPN now too. But, I guess my point is, it really isn't that intrusive.
It definitely isn't intrusive in the way that Windows 11 hijacks your chrome tabs into Edge, and takes over on reboot (I hate apple, but I literally went out and bought a mac a week after tolerating that)
