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?

People have already mentioned lynx; I also recommend netsurf.
Sometimes you want the full weight of a browser like firefox or midori- that's the natural consequence of how awful the web has gotten- you can avoid memory-hogging spy-scripts or you can access much of the content of the web, but you can't do both at once. Noscript helps a little.
