Is Pocket dead? Extension isn\u2019t updated anymore.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mozilla<\/a> (Hacker News<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\n

Pocket will no longer be available after July 8, 2025.<\/p>\n

You can continue using the app and browser extensions until this date. After July 8, Pocket will move into export-only mode. Users can export saves anytime until October 8, 2025, after which user data will be permanently deleted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mozilla<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading. But the way people save and consume content on the web has evolved, so we\u2019re channeling our resources into projects that better match browsing habits today. Discovery also continues to evolve; Pocket helped shape the curated content recommendations you already see in Firefox, and that experience will keep getting better. Meanwhile, new features like Tab Groups<\/a> and enhanced bookmarks now provide built-in ways to manage reading lists easily.<\/p>\n

[\u2026]<\/p>\n

This shift allows us to shape the next era of the internet \u2013 with tools like vertical tabs, smart search and more AI-powered features on the way.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Warner Crocker<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s not a surprise to me given how poorly the app was treated after Mozilla took it over in 2017. The read it later service became almost unusable and I had gradually moved away from my reliance on it for bookmarking web links. My move away quickened once they decided to discontinue the Mac app. Making it a web only app ironically led to a pretty horrible user experience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
