Mozilla is shutting down Pocket and Fakespot to focus on developing new features for Firefox. Pocket gained recognition for longform journalism, winning a Webby award for its "Best of 2020" collection. Fakespot was acquired in mid-2023 to support ethical AI and advertising. Users can access Pocket until July 8, after which it will enter an 'export-only' mode until 2025. Fakespot’s browser extensions will stop functioning soon, marking a transition for Mozilla towards enhancing its core services with AI-driven functionalities.
"As we wind them down, we're looking ahead to focusing on new Firefox features that people need most. This shift allows us to shape the next era of the internet."
