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 set it up on a chromebook
Well, if you are using a chromebook then its pretty clear you don't give a rat's ass about your privacy.
So I think it would be foolish to believe that you are even halfway cognizant of all the ways you are being snooped on.
