hi
the element i really like / liked about Pocket were the curated stories that firefox publishes on its new tab page.
yes i used the "save to pocket" option but one can easily enough just visit the article and bookmark in the normal way.
NOTE: i think i wasn't appreciating the offline easy-to-read aspect to pocket (because i'd just read the article online and/or save to pocket) but it's too late now!
I've seen articles on multiple websites and reddit about pocket alternatives but people seem to only talk about pocket in terms of the capacity to save-to-read-later, tagging, book marking management, etc.
Btw, i've read the mozilla pocket FAQ support page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pocket-recommendations-firefox-new-tab). It was updated mid march 2025 (when mozilla surely knew they were shutting down pocket) and ironically it recommends for more articles to visit pocket.
1) this FAQ really needs to be updated to reflect pocket ceasing
2) it could reflect what is happening with the "thought-provoking stories" feature within firefox browser
My questions:
1) will the "thought provoking stories" feature aka curated articles of interest continue in firefox in any capacity after pocket ceases?
i don't know given i believe they're sourced from pocket.
EDIT: i've just discovered about "pocket hits" (or "ten tabs" as reportedly it's being renamed to) email newsletter. I knew nothing about this. Might the content / curated articles replace those from pocket on the new tab page?
2) if not, can people suggest alternatives to pocket's curated articles (i'm less fussed about saving the articles because i've seen many recommendations on that)?
thanks,
Gary
