Today we’re introducing a free built-in VPN in Firefox, a new IP-protection feature designed to keep you even more private while you browse. We’re starting by offering an industry-leading 50 gigabytes of free VPN-browsing each month.

Firefox is becoming more like Brave by the day.

This is not white-label Mullvad. This is a new service running on servers that have never been vetted.

That isn’t something you trust just because a company tells you to trust it. In a best-case scenario you start with zero trust, and it gets built out from there. (And this assumes Mozilla isn’t operating from a trust deficit).

I’m tired of saying and reading this, “if something is free, you are the product” (your data technically).

Firefox is looking very bad lately, AI, “free” VPN, next is crypto and it will become brave.

  This is just not true.
  
  Proton offers a completely free VPN that does not exploit you. I mean, it sucks, and the goal is to convince you to pay, but it is free.
  
  Further, most of the time, even if you pay, you are still the product. As in, they exploit your data nonetheless.
