Mozilla has added Pocket, a third-party "save for later" service, to Firefox Beta (and other development channels of the browser).
This is based on the proprietary former addon pocket, which is now no longer supported since it is being integrated.
It's only the beta channel, but this has all the hallmarks of a half-baked revenue stream for Mozilla that ultimately sells out user privacy - and what's worse, is opt-out, rather than opt-in.
Sponsored tiles on the new tab page, changing default search settings during updates, surrendering on DRM, and now this... Mozilla keeps finding ways to make it hard to stay a supporter. Here's hoping they hear some feedback on this decision before it gets out of beta!
What are the best available browser options for users wanting to protect their privacy as much as possible, as well as run a bloat-free browser? Pale Moon? Midori?

I use Pale moon for 95% of what I do with about 50 tabs open at any given time (all being used, don't ask.) For when I need something which can't be done in it (or can't be done b/c of my various blocker extensions) I use chromium. You don't have to just use one browser, but Pale Moon has completely replaced Firefox for me. I even moved my firefox profile to palemoon and it worked right out of the box with minimal tweaks.
