Save articles and discover stories worth reading
Pocket was a read-it-later and content discovery app that allowed users to save articles from the web for later reading and discover curated content recommendations. Mozilla acquired it in 2017 and expanded its reach to tens of millions of users across more than a dozen countries. The service has been shut down, with its content recommendation capabilities continuing through Firefox's built-in features.
Users saved articles via browser extensions or apps, and the platform curated personalized content recommendations based on machine learning and human editorial oversight.
