@ieure yeah, well you already have to make a bunch of about:config changes anyway to make firefox acceptable, so adding one extra setting to disable pocket isn't a big deal for me
(especially compared to the work involved in evaluating the trustworthiness and reliability of an additional package source when I'm currently getting everything from debian)
also it's probably overdue for me to report the ads as a bug in debian; maybe with enough voices we could get it fixed in apt so everyone wins
