Pocket will be shutting down on July 8, 2025. This is very disappointing as I love the compatibility with my Kobo.
Good. Was frustrating to have Firefox finely tuned w/ extensions and whatnot to eliminate invasive ads, but their front page “news aggregator” ignored all of those rules and served up only ad-infested trash
Imagine that someone collected and kept the bookmarks there, and now they will disappear. Another reason to remember that you do not need to store anything important remotely.
Wallabag is a fine alternative to pocket.
I am currently trying Wallabag and like it so far. Being able to self-host it is definitely a plus. I also like how clean and simple it is compared to how bloated Pocket has become, but it does not have the official integration with Kobo. It looks like there is a way to use Wallabag by installing KOReader. I will look more into that if I decide to stick with Wallabag long-term.

KOReader is a big upgrade over KOBO, imo. The 1-click install is here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=314220
i just imported all my pocket bookmarks into firefox bookmarks, and it kinda works even better
