Mozilla seems to be discontinuing proxy extension Firefox Private Network – Computer – News

The $5 VPN is solely a Mullvad subscription with a Mozilla faceplate.

It is ironic that the service is absolutely only a Mullvad reseller. Mozilla needs so badly to earn a living itself with no take care of the satan (Google), and I hope they succeed. Mozilla is among the few opponents of the identical Google within the browser space.

The advert big pays Mozilla almost $500 million a 12 months for searches, something typed into the omnibar, and your shopping historical past (by way of Google’s “secure shopping”). Slowly however steadily, Mozilla is coming one anyway bit other than Google: In 2019, 88% of the turnover got here from there, and in 2020 it was nonetheless 86%.

Mozilla’s earlier CEO, Brandon Eich, tried with out Google however with crypto tokens and a industrial search index, however sarcastically, it once more makes use of the supply code of Google Chromium in Courageous Browser to save lots of on builders. Truly, I feel it is a disgrace that Courageous does not use Firefox’s supply code, however Mozilla in all probability will not enable it due to a contest clause or one thing like that.
