Love the browser and sticking with it even as people push Chrome. One unexpected little benefit that I came to really enjoy was the Pocket stories shown when opening a new tab. At first, these were quirky, interesting and/or fun stories, and most importantly, they were *not* news stories. Now, a lot of them are news stories straight from news outlets. ***Please allow users an option to turn off *news* stories in the Pocket feed.*** I know how to turn off Pocket stories altogether; I know how to dismiss an individual story; I know how to thumb down a story (though this feature didn't really seem to influence my feed and now it has disappeared altogether on my Windows version of Firefox) - It would just be great to have an on/off toggle for people who don't want news stories in this space. It's really important right now for people to have fun and information spaces on the internet that are not the news. We know how and where to get news, and unfortunately, bad news is seeping in through the cracks everywhere we look. Please give us a version of Pocket that is nothing but fun little reads!
