Was always sad to see Mozilla promoting a proprietary extension and centralized service over the objections of many many many people, even sadder to see them formally make it part of Mozilla, sadder yet to see them becoming just like any other company that runs and shuts down centralized services, and the saddest to see them do it without ever following through on their initial statements that all of this would become open source engadget.com/apps/mozilla-is-s -- I see there is github.com/open-pocket/open-po

The thing is, you select a particular proprietary project because you think it will be well-supported.

While Firefox users may be indifferent to it, it's an important part of the reading experience for many Kobo ereader users.

As for open source, the project "Omnivore" shuttered itself last year and sold itself off to some AI company.

@number6 but when open source / free software, the code is still out there to be used and potentially picked up by some other individual or entity. Very different dynamic from proprietary or hosted.
