> A product that's designed to strip ads from content for readability doesn't align with their new direction.

Interesting. I saw it as a glorified bookmarking service and saw the readability concerns as what raised red flags for me: mozilla just inherently isn't interested in competing on value rather than on marketing.



they really went out of their way to include as many "Why" sections and links as possible without saying a single word about why.


the internet is no longer designed to be readable.

it is designed to be profitable.


Its also no longer designed for users, but for the advertisers and bots.


Yea, but that matters less than you think in this context as what I want (a bookmark service for bookmarks) matters a lot less than how the service is marketed and funded.


They killed off the live bookmarks feature that I still miss in favor of this and it was never the same.

My rss feeds are still around from then. Glad I didn't invest in this fad.


There is still no solid way to persist RSS feeds (...especially the content they actually refer to) to private storage. Any serious archiving service today will need to undertake snapshotting a website as it stands without relying on such sickly, secondary signals.

...but where RSS is reliable, yes, it's amazing.
