Since El Reg won't link to the source, I will:
https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2018/01/24/update-on-pocket-and-firefox-integration/
which then links off to:
https://help.getpocket.com/article/1142-firefox-new-tab-recommendations
And this states:
Important Note: Neither Mozilla nor Pocket receives a copy of your browser history. The entire process of sorting and filtering which stories you should see happens locally in your copy of Firefox.
So, apparently, no processing outside of the browser. Doesn't answer the other ingestion tho.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
