Mozilla acquires Pocket


The Verge:

Mozilla has acquired Pocket, a kind of DVR for the internet, for an undisclosed sum. The nine-year-old company, which makes tools for saving articles and videos to view them later, is Mozilla's first acquisition. It represents a homecoming of sorts for Pocket, which began life as a Firefox extension before eventually expanding its team and building a suite of apps for every major platform. Pocket has been Firefox's default read-it-later service since 2015.

Pocket is my preferred read-it-later service. I like the apps on both iOS and macOS, plus the browser extensions work as you'd expect.

It's thought that as more web traffic goes mobile, Mozilla is seeing its position shrink.
