Mozilla had previously made Pocket a mandatory part of Firefox and that really annoyed a lot of people because Pocket's business model was to spy on users for profit. This acquisition gives me hope that the spying will be eliminated, making Pocket - which is a genuinely useful tool - safe for all to use.
Pocket will join Mozilla's product portfolio as a new product line alongside the Firefox web browsers with a focus on promoting the discovery and accessibility of high quality web content. (Here's a link to their blog post on the acquisition). Pocket's core team and technology will also accelerate Mozilla's broader Context Graph initiative.

I actually pay for broadcast television (indeed, I would have to pay even if I hadn't a TV). Which unfortunately doesn't mean it's completely ad free.
