• Orbit AI assistant: Orbit will shut down on June 26, 2025.

Orbit and Deep Fake Detector will shut down on June 26.

In the same vein as Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, I propose some renamings:

• Safari Surfer
• Chromium Cruiser
• Firefox Forager
• Edge Envoy
• Vivaldi Voyager

Anyone know of an extension that can create exceptions for this feature. It would be nice to have certain sites bypass this setting.

"Pocket, an app for saving and reading articles later, is shutting down on July 8, Mozilla announced today.

The company sent an email with the subject line “Important Update: Pocket is Saying Goodbye,” around 2 p.m. EST and I immediately started wailing when I saw it.

“You’ll be able to keep using the app and browser extensions until then. However, starting May 22, 2025, you won’t be able to download the apps or purchase a new Pocket Premium subscription,” the announcement says. Users can export saved articles until October 8, 2025, after which point all Pocket accounts and data will be permanently deleted.

The Mozilla-owned Pocket, formerly known as "Read It Later," launched in August 2007 as a Firefox browser extension that let users save articles to... well, read later. Mozilla acquired Pocket in 2017."
