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.

      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.

  • Nice try FF, but I already have PIA and they are already doing a great job of helping me dodge the MPAA/RIAA
