Browsers shouldn't require accounts, and thankfully Firefox doesn't. But having a way to synchronize my passwords across all my devices is pretty important.
That’s what a password manager is for
Does your password manager require an account to sync between multiple machines?

> If people are fine with telling Pocket what they read I don't believe the ads shown in Firefox require sending any browsing history to the web (whether to Firefox or anyone else). The mechanism used here is different. I do agree with you that pushing ads into the browser chrome by default is abhorrent (a judgment compounded with the fact that they initially pretended that these weren't ads).
Saving pages to Pocket tells Mozilla what you read though. Reading List did not.
The implication of the first paragraph was that this behavior applied to users by default. If it's effectively opt-in, it's hard to argue that this is Mozilla "willing to sacrifice their user's privacy and security" and that "telling Pocket what they read" was "shoved on everyone", if in fact it is a choice to have your browsing history sent to Mozilla.

Replacing a privacy compatible feature with a revenue generating privacy incompatible sacrificed privacy for revenue. And what you called the implication was your inference.
