Ist es nicht schön wenn #Mozilla mit Produkten wirbt die entweder an die Community [ @thunderbird / #Thunderbird ] übergeben, #enshittified [ #Firefox ] oder eingestampft werden [ #Pocket & #FakeSpot ]....

#Pocket und #Fakespot werden bei Mozilla am 6.7.2025 abgeschaltet.

Pocket war meine #Bibliothek und Anregungsecke und Sammelmöglichkeit für interessante #Artikel aus dem Internet. #Mozilla wird es im Juli beenden.

Fakespot war ein Anfang eines Tools, das ich mir für #Browser im Internet generell wünschen würde: #NoFake und #NoMalware zum Erkennen von #Fake und #Malware auf Websites im #Internet.

Könnte es das auch im #Fediverse geben?

Mozilla закрывает сервис Pocket

Кроме того, близится к завершению работа детектора фальшивых отзывов от Mozilla под названием Fakespot, поскольку компания обращает свое внимание на то, “что способствует улучшению качества просмотра сайтов”.

In der ganzen Diskussion dass #Mozilla Mist dadurch baut, #Pocket einzustampfen - geht komplett unter, dass auch #Fakespot von Mozilla eingestampft wird.

#AI companies are removing more useful features - #Microsoft are stopping coupon suggestions whilst shopping in Edge (about the only good thing about Edge), and #Mozilla are cancelling #Fakespot which I use to check if sellers have a dodgy reputation.

Time to see if Mozilla has any useful extensions as replacements.

Mozilla ha deciso di chiudere #Pocket, il servizio read it later che aveva acquisito nel 2017. Anche #Fakespot subirà la mannaia di #Mozilla e chiuderà a breve. La società ha comunicato di voler concentrare i propri sforzi su progetti con un maggiore impatto. Staremo a vedere… 🤷 https://getpocket.com/farewell

Je l'ai utilisée pendant plusieurs années ! #Mozilla a décidé d'abandonner l'application #Pocket (et #Fakespot) pour se concentrer encore plus sur le développement de #Firefox. Drôle de hasard, j'avais migré mes données il y a 1 mois vers le service Raindrop. Détails sur mon blogue...

About #Mozilla I didn't know they have a thing such as #FakeSpot until today... @mozilla wondering why... And I am using #Firefox as my main browser since... a long long time...

Un'altra vittima della mannaia dell'austerity di Mozilla.

Bummer. Mozilla, makers of Firefox, are shutting down their "Pocket" and "Fakespot" services.
I use Fakespot constantly, every time I go to buy something from Amazon (or another supported retailer). I'd pay to use it, but it's going away. Ugh...

I still am boggling over https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/building-whats-next/

Fakespot turns the tables, and uses AI to spot AI-generated slop so humans can have a better idea if writing - especially product reviews - is by a real human who might have hands with which to handle the product, hands-on

Mozilla is cutting it in order to deliver "more AI-powered features"

OK but this was the AI powered feature we wanted why cut it and foist other, likely generative LLM, "AI" on us?

And the uncomfortable reality check that a system is what it does.
