Pocket, a pioneering “read-it-later” application first launched in 2007, was acquired in 2017 by the Mozilla Foundation with the aim of helping users save web articles, videos, and other online content for future access across any platform.
Many users embraced Pocket as a bookmark alternative, appreciating its ability to synchronize content in the cloud for seamless reading across different browsers and devices. It remained a flagship offering under the Mozilla umbrella—making the news of its imminent shutdown all the more unexpected.
According to an official announcement from Mozilla, the Pocket and Fakespot applications will cease operations beginning July 8, 2025. Fakespot, a browser extension designed to detect fraudulent reviews on e-commerce platforms, aids users in discerning deceptive praise in product feedback.
Effective immediately, users will no longer be able to download the Pocket app or purchase Pocket Premium subscriptions. Existing subscriptions will be automatically canceled, and annual subscribers will receive refunds starting July 8, 2025. Users are advised to export their saved content by October 8, 2025, after which all data will be permanently deleted.
Fakespot, along with its extension, mobile app, and website, will shut down on July 1, 2025. Its Firefox-integrated feature, Review Checker, will cease functioning as of June 10, 2025, and will no longer offer any review analysis services.
This transition comes amid ongoing antitrust proceedings against Google by the U.S. Department of Justice, which is calling for an end to Google’s paid preinstallation deals. Mozilla’s Firefox browser relies heavily on revenue generated through its search partnership with Google. Should the courts mandate the termination of such agreements, Firefox may face existential financial peril.
