Pocket for Firefox doesn't seem to make sense for me. (feddit.org)

Many articles nowadays are behind a paywall. So when I want to add an article from a paid newspaper to Pocket, I figured out that that portal just tries to grab the article itself instead of taking it from Firefox directly. Which means that you just see the part of the article you see when you aren't logged in.

Does that make any sense? Not really.

Bookmarks are problematic.

The page can go away, or be changed.

Which is why archive.is/archive.ph is so damn important.

Personally, methinks a similar style of bookmarking/read-it-later extension that leverages the archive.ph service would work wonders.

I’m surprised they didn’t build one themselves that included a funding channel for more support revenue. I mean, they’re currently labouring under a shockingly ænemic ≈$200CAD/wk revenue stream. That can’t be effective long-term.
