Mozilla Rolls Out New Privacy Features To Its Mobile and Desktop VPN (techcrunch.com) 15
Mozilla is rolling out new updates to its mobile and desktop VPN offerings, the company announced on Tuesday. From a report: With the launch of Mozilla VPN 2.7, the company is bringing one of Firefox's popular add-ons, Multi-Account Containers, to the desktop platform and also introducing a multi-hop feature to the Android and iOS version of the VPN service. Firefox's Multi-Account Containers allow users to separate different parts of their online activities, such as work, shopping and banking. Instead of having to open a new window or different browser to check your work email, you can isolate that activity in a container tab, which prevents other sites from tracking your activity across the web. The company says combining the add-on with Mozilla's VPN adds an extra layer of protection to users' compartmentalized browsing activity and also adds extra protection to their locational information.

I particularly enjoyed finding out that the Binance photo ID technology is unable to identify me as myself. I find it quite reassuring that photo-id technology does not work well enough to track me!
I have also observed that, though I speak standard RP, very few IVR systems ever get more than 50% of my speech correct. If that figure reaches more than 60%, I shall try to develop an obscure Latin American accent - unless someon

Eich paid a good chunk of money to hurt people he didn't like. This made him unpopular with his workforce, which is what happened if you directly hurt your own employees and their friends and family. Not to mention those who just don't like that sort of thing in general.
He made his own position untenable by alienating a large amount of his workforce. He was not forced out, he chose to resign because remaining would have caused e

That's why i switched to Chrome, i agree with everything google does. /sarcasm
Or Brave... because leaving googles ad network to join the brave ad network while still perpetrating google/chromes market power by using the rendering engine maintained by google was the solution i was looking for! /more sarcasm
I may not agree with everything mozilla does, but i still disagree with them less than pretty much anyone else right now.
If i quit dealing with every company i had a disagreement with on something, I'd be

That's interesting, I've been using them for years and the service is great.
I just wish Mozilla would sort out Firefox on Android.

Authoritarian governments should have difficulty blocking Mozillas VPNs if they really stand for freedom. They're wallowing in cash so funds are no excuse.
