Coming back to the acquisition, Pocket will continue to operate independently and function as it did prior to the acquisition. On the other hand, Mozilla has said that it will leverage Pocket's core team to improve its Context Graph project, which is a recommendation engine for search.

 

Mozilla's objective will be to use the contextual information gathered about users preferences and suggest them more relevant content online. This function will be based on the user's search histories, preferences and frequently read content.
