A new version of Firefox appeared today; I installed same.

While I appreciate the security and other fixes, I DO NOT appreciate the install – as part of the base code – of a new part of the browser: Pocket.

Yeah, Pocket sounds interesting, but don’t make it part of a base install of Firefox – make it a trusted add-on, from Mozilla.

Don’t force (non-security) stuff on folks – Again, Pocket sounds interesting. If I really cared, I’d download the add-on.

ALL additions to the browser core can have security issues – more code that can potentially be exploited; it’s the nature of the beast. Don’t make this part of the code base. For security.

ALL additions to the browser core can create overhead that slow things; it’s the nature of the beast. Don’t make this part of the code base. For speed.

Make it an add-on.

And that way, should Pocket become an issue, one can uninstall the add-on, not have to have a new browser with this functionality removed.

That’s the reason I use – for personal use – Chrome on Win64. Just fast, clean, uncluttered.

NOTE: I love Firefox for the way it supports Add-Ons: As a developer, I’d be lost without Firebug & Web Developer; as a person, I’d hate to live without ForecastFox. But don’t put these types of features – like Pocket – in by default, please…

My take. And I “get” Pocket, but won’t (currently) use it.

That’s me.
