Firefox’s free VPN will offer 50 gigabytes of monthly data, which is pretty generous for a browser-based VPN. A Mozilla account is required to make use of it, which isn’t a hardship (they’re free), but is a point of friction some may wish to know upfront.
Please stop adding bloat to my browser. I have nothing against VPN, but it’s not a fucking core feature of a web browser. Put that stuff in an extension that I can install if I want.
They should make a “Firefox Core” which contains only the browser with basic features, and then make another version which contains all the “fun” stuff.
They need to separate gecko properly so we can build things using just the renderer.
Install LibreWolf then disable the cookie clearing and resistFingerprinting.
Isn’t that what extensions are for? This basically already exists. It’s a shame Mozilla doesn’t utilize it for this
It depends on the country you are living in. There are plenty of people with restricted and surveilled internet.
Sure, but do you think they’re going to allow Firefox if it comes with a built-in VPN?
Texas and Florida haven’t banned it yet.
How exactly are you going to ‘disallow’ a piece of software?
The comment I replied to said: “There are plenty of people with restricted and surveilled internet”, so: through restrictions and surveillance, which is how North Korea, China and Russia mostly goes about it. Prohibiting certain pieces of software (or even algorithms) isn’t exactly something new — morally wrong, absolutely, but nothing new.
Soon to be all countries in short order, with age controls, the trojan horse.
