100%. And companies don't seem to realize this. I'll use fakespot, but there is absolutely no use for it to be an inbrowser app, and the fact that it suggests (pushes) the idea each time I use the website is just maddening. That said, I appreciate that service.

Pocket can stay or leave. I don't care one way or the other. I never understood its usecase.

I never understood its usecase.

I used to use it when I was browsing the web at work. If I was reading something at the end of the day, or if it was something I didn't want to read at work, I'd give it a pocket bookmark. Then I could pull out my phone and finish right where I left off during my train commute.

Huh. Ok, cool. I just go to the address bar and enter QR to it, which triggers some search engines to generate a qr code for the following text. I, then, scan that code to my phone, and open the page on it to read later.

I don't think I've ever seen this suggestion. IDK where I clicked "STFU" but I only ever remember seeing something about it once.

I clear cookies often, so it could be a cookie setting, maybe.
