Browsers have tons of feature; you don't need to use the ones you don't care for.

It's trivial to remove the pocket button - right-click and select "remove from address bar".

If I might ask - how is a "save to pocket" intrusive? This isn't like any of the billions of social media buttons you'll come across on the web; it's not a tracker or anything (and if you do click it, you're going to need to make an account first; and it's only going to save what you ask it explicitly to save).



It's intrusive because it takes up space on my screen, and because it's completely useless without a Pocket account. Thanks for the tip about removing it from my address bar. Done. It still shows up second in the dot menu, but it's an improvement. I'd rather it were an extension that was installed by default that I could uninstall.



It's also trivial to keep using Chrome and that's what the vast majority of users are going to do.

Mozilla's promotions on HN/reddit won't amount to much.
