      Yeah. It was originally a simple bookmark-ish plugin - you’d save a tab for later by shoving it into a list, and opening it back up removed it from that list. Then it rebranded into a whole cloud-based thing where you needed a goddamn account just to access the list you already made on your own computer. And it was “helpfully” backing up anything newly shoved. Then they bribed their way into becoming part of Firefox, breaking the actual plugin for anyone still using it for its intended fucking purpose. And hey guess what now they’re on some Facebook shit where other people’s articles are hosted on their website, to get advertised at recommended to you.

      There was a neat thing I liked and it betrayed me in half a dozen ways to make some jackass money. Enshittification applies.
